Why Dental Care is So Important for Pets
A clean, healthy mouth stands as a cornerstone of overall health in the realm of pet wellness. Dental disease can lead to unpleasant health changes, from painful gums and bad breath to infection of the major organs. In other words, dental disease starts in the mouth but has the potential to affect other parts of the body. At Four Paws Veterinary Clinic, we emphasize preventative measures through cat and dog teeth cleaning appointments at our hospital, and yearly wellness exams to check the mouth and look for telltale signs of infection.
