“My pet stays inside” is one of the most common reasons prevention gets skipped.

But mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks can still find their way indoors and prevention is a lot easier than treatment.

Not sure which preventatives your pet needs? Give us a call at (704) 864-5739 and our team will help you find the right fit!

Fleas and ticks become more active as temperatures rise.

Even indoor pets can be exposed through other pets, clothing, or quick outdoor trips.

The easiest way to avoid these pests is by staying consistent with prevention year round.

We've covered a lot about dental health this month! Let's recap:
Dental disease affects most pets by age three. It causes real pain and impacts the whole body. Professional cleanings under anesthesia are the gold standard. At-home care helps maintain results between cleanings. Signs of problems include bad breath, difficulty eating, and behavior changes. Senior pets benefit from dental care too.
If you haven't scheduled your pet's dental exam yet, February isn't over! And dental health matters year-round, not just in February.
Don't let another year go by with untreated dental disease. Your pet will feel better, and you'll have peace of mind.

February is also Heart Month. And guess what affects heart health? Dental disease. 💓
The link between oral bacteria and heart disease is well-established in both humans and pets. Bacteria from the mouth enter the bloodstream and can cause issues with heart valves (endocarditis), contribute to heart murmurs, and worsen existing heart conditions.
Some heart murmurs improve after dental cleanings once oral infection is resolved. Regular dental care is actually part of heart disease prevention.
If your pet already has heart disease, dental care becomes even more important. We take extra precautions, but the risks of untreated dental infection often outweigh anesthesia concerns.
Protect your pet's heart. Start with their mouth.
Visit us today for a dental and cardiac exam.

Let's clear up some common dental myths: 🚫

MYTH: Dry food cleans teeth.
TRUTH: Most pets swallow kibble whole. It doesn't scrub teeth like people think.

MYTH: Bad breath is normal for pets.
TRUTH: It's the first sign of dental disease and oral infection.

MYTH: If they're eating fine, their teeth are fine.
TRUTH: Pets eat through pain. By the time they stop eating, disease is severe.

MYTH: Anesthesia-free dentistry works just as well.
TRUTH: It only cleans visible surfaces and misses disease below the gums. Plus it's stressful and can be dangerous without sedation.
Don't let myths keep your pet from getting the care they need.

"My pet is too old for anesthesia" is something we hear a lot. Let's talk about it.

Age itself isn't a disease. Modern anesthesia is incredibly safe with proper protocols: pre-anesthetic bloodwork, IV fluids, monitoring throughout, and appropriate drug selection.

The question isn't "Is my pet too old?" It's "What's riskier: anesthesia or living with painful dental disease?"

Infected teeth hurt. Bacteria spread to organs. Quality of life suffers. Many senior pets feel years younger after dental treatment because they're finally pain-free.

We'll assess your senior pet individually and discuss the real risks and benefits.

Let's talk about your senior's dental health: https://gastonvet.com/

Did you know that 90% of pets have dental disease by age 3?*

And here's the tough part: they're hardwired to hide pain. You might not even know something's wrong until it's serious.

The good news? Regular cleanings help prevent problems before they start. And prevention is always less expensive than treatment.

Save $100 on a dental cleaning when you book by March 31!
