Why Dental Health Matters for Dogs and Cats
Dental care is a key part of your pet's overall wellness. Poor oral health doesn't just affect the mouth—dental disease can contribute to problems involving the heart, liver, and kidneys, and may impact the body through the bloodstream.
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues seen in pets, yet it's often overlooked at home. Many dogs and cats show signs of dental disease by age three.
Routine dental care can help prevent avoidable discomfort and support long-term health through professional dental cleanings.
Signs Your Pet May Need a Dental Exam
If you notice any of the following, it may be time to schedule a dental visit
- Brown or yellow discoloration on teeth
- Bad breath (persistent or worsening)
- Difficulty eating, dropping food, or chewing on one side
- Red or bleeding gums
- Pawing at the mouth or changes in appetite
