This is such an exciting time for all dog owners. We all know the struggle of either forgetting which month we are up to with parasite control, or our dog hating us for having to give them a tablet and hoping they don’t spit it back out at us.

Give us a call (706-629-5060) today so we can get you scheduled for your once a year flea and tick prevention.

Dental Heath:

Just as people need to take care of their teeth, pets also have important dental health needs. If issues arise with a pet’s teeth or gums, these infections can cause serious health issues. Plaque will accumulate on a dog or cat’s teeth just as it does on humans’ teeth. Left to fester, this plaque will become tartar, which breaks down the gums. A gum infection could spread to other areas of the body, causing serious illness. A veterinary can assist pet owners with dental care for a beloved animal, which can help ensure a healthy and long lifespan.

February is Dental Health Month!

Have you been getting kisses from your pet and noticed that they have stinky breath? Don’t go nose blind to that odor, it could be a sign of periodontal disease or another serious health issue. Dental health is very important and goes hand in hand with your pet’s overall wellness. We recommend having your pet’s teeth and gums examined yearly. Our doctors will perform this during your pet’s wellness visit to check for early signs of any health issues that may occur. Studies have shown that a healthy mouth can actually add years to your pet’s life.

Periodontal disease is the most common problem affecting pets in all age groups.

The very best way to help prevent periodontal disease is daily dental care at home, as well as professional dental care. You can start at home by brushing your pet’s teeth. To get started you can get your pet used to having your finger in their mouth, once they tolerate your finger you can slowly introduce your pet to a wet soft toothbrush. After your pet is comfortable with the toothbrush you can add a special veterinary toothpaste. Human toothpaste should never be used on your pet as it can be harmful to them.

We recommend a thorough dental cleaning when needed to help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy. By brushing your pet’s teeth at home, you may be able to help prevent issues that could result in more extensive dental work. Once tartar accumulates on the teeth and touches the gum line your pet should be scheduled for a cleaning. Your pet will receive dental x-rays, a thorough mouth/dental examination, scaling and polishing of the teeth, and have any needed extractions while under anesthesia. At pickup you will be given detailed at home care instructions as well as our doctor’s recommendations for continued dental care.

We will be offering 10% off all dental procedures for the month of February. Call us to inquire about your pet's dental cleaning today! 706.629.5060
