Your dog’s dental health plans a bigger role in their overall well-being than most pet parents realize. 🐾

Without proper care, plaque, and tartar buildup can lead to periodontal disease which doesn’t just affect the mouth, but can also impact vital organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys. The good news? A few simple habits at home can make a huge difference:

▪️ Brush regularly - Aim for daily brushing with dog-safe toothpaste
▪️ Dental chews & toys - Help reduce plaque while keeping them entertained
▪️ Water and Food additives - An easy way to support oral health between brushings
▪️ Healthy diet - Proper nutrition supports strong teeth and gums

Just like us, pets also need regular dental exams and professional cleanings to stay ahead of dental disease. These allow us to catch issues early and keep your pup comfortable and healthy.

If it’s been a while since your dog's last dental check, now is the perfect time to schedule an appointment. Please call us at (480)696-7744 to schedule your pets next appointment. 📞

Routine wellness exams aren’t just for dogs and cats, your rabbit needs them too! Rabbits are experts at hiding illness, which means by the time symptoms show, they may already be very sick. Regular veterinary visits allow us to catch health concerns early and keep your bunny feeling their best.

During a wellness exam, we check:

▪️Dental health (rabbits teeth continuously grow and can cause serious issues if not properly worn down)
▪️Weight and diet to support a healthy gastrointestinal tract
▪️Overall health and behavior changes that may go unnoticed at home

We also discuss important preventative care, including the RHDV2 vaccine to help protect against rabbit hemorrhagic disease.

Keeping up with routine exams is one of the best ways to ensure your rabbit lives a long, happy, and healthy life. If it’s been a while since your bunny’s last visit, call us today to schedule an appointment.

Bringing home a puppy is exciting but their first year of life is also one of the most important times for veterinary care.

Routine wellness exams help ensure your new best friend is growing properly, developing normally, and staying on track with their health milestones. These visits also give us the opportunity to discuss nutrition, behavior, parasite prevention, and any concerns you may notice at home.

Preventative vaccinations are especially crucial during this stage. Puppies are highly susceptible to contagious diseases like parvovirus, distemper, and rabies, and staying current on their vaccine schedule is the best way to protect them before they’re fully exposed to the world.

Even a puppy that looks perfectly healthy can still benefit from early detection of underlying issues. Regular checkups allow us to catch problems before they become serious.

If your puppy is due for a wellness exam or vaccines, we’re here to help keep them protected every step of the way. Call today at (480)696-7744 to schedule an appointment.
