Failing to keep up with regular dog dental care can lead to dental disease.
When you have a beloved four-legged family member, it’s important to make sure you’re doing what you can to keep your pet healthy and thriving. One area of pet care that is often overlooked is dental care, but it’s something that should certainly be part of your normal routine. Dog dental care is crucial to the overall well-being of your pup. Imagine how you would feel if you never brushed your teeth or visited the dentist. The build-up of plaque and tartar would feel very unpleasant, and the taste (not to mention smell) in your mouth probably wouldn’t be enjoyable or pleasant either.
At Plaza Veterinary Hospital, we offer dog dental care for pet owners in the Burlington, North Carolina area. We believe in preventive care options that can improve the overall health of pets, and dental care falls under this category. Failing to keep up with regular dog dental care can lead to dental disease. Some of the signs of dental disease in dogs include bad breath, excessive drooling, broken or loose teeth, pain or bleeding in the mouth, and refusing to eat or drink.
By caring for your dog through regular dental care, you can lessen the risk of him or her contracting dental disease, as well as prevent oral pain, tooth loss, and organ damage. When bacteria in plaque on the teeth isn’t treated, it can spread to other organs through the bloodstream. Dog dental care is vital to keeping your beloved pup as healthy as possible, so contact us at Plaza Veterinary Hospital to set up an appointment.
