February is Pet Dental Health Month! All month long we will be sharing some quick pet dental health tips

🦷Did you know chronic bad breath in your pet is never "normal"?🦷

While we all joke about "dog breath," bad breath can actually be a sign of underlying tooth or gum issues such as gum disease, tartar buildup, or even infection.
If you've noticed your pet's breath getting increasingly worse, it's time to get them in to have their oral health checked over!

Next week starts February which is Pet Dental Health Awareness Month! 🦷🐶🐱

Common signs that your pet may be in need of a dental cleaning include:
-Ongoing bad breath
-Difficulty eating or change in eating habits
-Visible tartar
-Chipped or broken teeth
-Swollen or bloody gums

If you think your pet may be in need of a dental cleaning/procedure , give us a call to schedule a pre-dental appointment today for a doctor to assess teeth/gum health.

Has your pet already been told they were due for a dental? Schedule now and you will get 10% off the procedure if scheduled in the month of February!

As we look back on 2025, we’re so grateful for what an amazing year it’s been! This past year we have welcomed so many new clients and pets, have continued caring and growing relationships with our longtime patients, and have added an awesome new veterinarian to our team—Dr. Lilly!
