Did you know that your pet's bad breath might be more than just an unpleasant smell? It could indicate that they have periodontal disease! If left untreated, can progress to periodontal disease in the following stages:

Stage 1 — Gingivitis is the first stage of periodontal disease. The bacteria cause gum inflammation but do not damage the supporting tooth structures.

Stage 2 — The bacteria invade under the gum line, damaging the tissue that supports the teeth. Periodontal disease is characterized as stage two when less than 25% of the supporting structures are affected.

Stage 3 — Periodontal disease is characterized as stage three when 25% to 50% of the supporting structures are damaged.

Stage 4 — Periodontal disease is characterized as stage four when greater than 50% of the supporting structures are affected. Typically, stage four teeth aren’t salvageable and must be extracted.

Does your pup ever seem like they're not quite getting what you're saying? 🤔

Communication with dogs is more than just words! Try using your body language to speak to your furry friend. Approach them with your body angled away and avoid reaching out. Instead, let them come to you when they're ready, and keep your body relaxed and calm. These calming signals will show your pup that you're listening and help them feel safe and understood. 🐶🐾

🦟 Lyme disease prevention starts with tick prevention. The best way to keep your furry friend safe is to use tick preventives year-round, including the winter months.

Most veterinarian-prescribed preventives kill ticks only a few hours after the initial bite, preventing disease transmission, which requires 24 to 48 hours of attachment.

Contact us at 760-749-0560 to learn about tick prevention measures that will work best for your pet. Don't wait until it's too late! 🐾

🌡️ Pets are at an ever-increasing risk for Lyme disease, which can be transmitted by a single tick bite.
