Dental Care
At our hospital, we truly understand the importance of dental care for our beloved pets. Maintaining your pet’s oral hygiene is not just about keeping their breath fresh, or their teeth pearly white, it is also about contributing to their health and longevity.
Keeping Your Pet's Teeth Clean Improves Their Overall Health
Just like us, pets can suffer from a broad range of dental complications, especially when their oral health has been neglected. Unlike us, pets can’t tell you when or where specifically they feel discomfort and pain, and they can’t brush their own teeth. Problems with your pet’s dental health can significantly impact their overall well-being. For example, pets who have dental problems may experience pain and discomfort, which leads to difficulties eating and day-to-day living. If dental problems are not addressed, it can lead to infections, weight loss and malnutrition in pets. That is why we are determined to promote good oral hygiene for pets.
Proactive Care Is Vital For Your Pet’s Preventative Health Care
From plaque buildup to gum disease, we can provide you with the advice and care your pet needs. We encourage all pet owners to implement a regular oral hygiene routine, such as brushing, providing dental chew toys, and scheduling dental check-ups. Our experienced and compassionate team provides the best possible care for your pet, as we offer both routine teeth cleaning services and advanced dental surgery. Together, we can work towards ensuring that your pet has a healthy smile and a long, happy life.
Preventive Care
We are committed to providing quality care for your pets to keep them happy and healthy throughout their lives. With proactive care, we can monitor your pet’s needs in terms of their overall health, and potentially prevent more serious health concerns. Just like us, our furry friends need routine physical exams in order to detect potential health problems. During these check-ups, our veterinarians and support staff will thoroughly examine your pet from head to tail, allowing us to address any concerns and develop a personalized plan for their ongoing care.
Vaccinations are another crucial aspect of preventive care for pets. Our hospital follows the latest guidelines for pet vaccinations to help protect them from potentially deadly diseases.
