🦷 𝐏𝐞𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 🦷

Just like us, our pets need regular dental care to keep their mouths healthy and pain-free. Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs and cats, yet it often goes unnoticed until it becomes severe.

🐾 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:
💙 Prevents bad breath, gum disease & tooth loss
💙 Reduces the risk of infections affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys
💙 Keeps your pet comfortable and pain-free

🩺 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐕𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠?
Dental cleanings done by a veterinarian are 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞. A professional dental procedure allows us to:
✔️ Remove plaque and tartar above AND below the gumline
✔️ Take X-rays to detect hidden problems
✔️ Extract painful or damaged teeth if necessary
✔️ Ensure your pet is comfortable and stress-free under anesthesia

🩻 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐗-𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐬?
Not all dental disease is visible! X-rays allow us to see below the gumline, detecting hidden issues like infections, root damage, and bone loss.

📅 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫: If your pet’s dental cleaning is booked within a month of our recommendation, you’ll receive 𝟏𝟎% 𝐨𝐟𝐟 the procedure!

🦷 𝐀𝐭-𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞
Regular brushing and dental care at home can help maintain your pet’s oral health between professional cleanings! We carry 𝐩𝐞𝐭-𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬, 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬 to make daily care easy and effective.
