🦷🐾 Did You Know? Just like us, our pets need regular dental care to stay healthy and happy!

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in cats and dogs — and it often goes unnoticed. Bad breath, difficulty eating, and red or bleeding gums can all be signs of dental trouble.

🧐 Here’s something surprising: Around 60% of a dog’s tooth is below the gumline — meaning most dental problems can’t be seen just by looking in your pet’s mouth!
That’s why dental X-rays are essential for spotting hidden issues like root infections, bone loss, or impacted teeth.

Left untreated, dental disease can lead to:
✔️ Chronic pain
✔️ Tooth loss
✔️ Infections that affect the heart, liver, and kidneys

That’s why we recommend:
✅ Annual dental check-ups
✅ Regular professional cleanings under general anaesthetic so the whole mouth can be cleaned
✅ At-home dental care (like brushing and dental chews)

🩺 Our team is here to help keep those tails wagging and those purrs going strong — starting with a healthy mouth!

📅 Book your pet’s dental check-up today! - https://dsmcg.co.uk/book-an-appointment/
