If you see any of these signs in your pet, please give us a call.

You can help reduce the risk!

The first step in preventing oral disease is a routine physical examination.
Take advantage of dental products: pet safe toothpaste, tartar control chews (special bones & treats), and oral rinses you can add to your pet’s water.
Schedule regular follow-ups with us and ask about more that you can do to provide adequate care for you pet’s dental health.
