🐶🐱 Did you know that most dogs and cats have some degree of dental disease by the age of three?

Dental disease can cause chronic pain and discomfort, leading to behavioral changes and a decreased quality of life for your pet.

Regular dental evaluations are crucial to detect dental disease early, before it progresses to cause serious issues.

After a proper dental procedure, many pet owners report seeing a remarkable difference in their pets' happiness and activity levels.

This beautiful girl is 𝓦𝔂𝓵𝓲𝓮! 💐
We’ve chosen her as our Patient of the Month for July because she has been through so much recently and has been very strong during it all. We love seeing her and her little booties! Thank you for being so brave during everything you’ve been going through sweet girl! 🥰

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝗼𝗺: She's the greatest greyhound. She had the most personality, when we had the 3 females greyhounds. All were born in Australia and raced in Macau. They had the most fun together. Once Greycie died, they lost some spark. Once Shadow died, Wylie had her mammary tumor surgery and has been recovering and surviving. She is a love bug!
