Maintaining proper dental care is crucial for the overall health of any animal. Dental issues can have far-reaching effects on the heart, liver, kidneys, and the entire body through the bloodstream. Surprisingly, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years old suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most prevalent health concern among our pet population.
Despite these alarming statistics, many pet owners are unaware of the significance of dental care for their pet’s well-being. Various approaches can enhance your pet’s dental hygiene, including home brushing, dental chews, special diets, oral hygiene solutions, and regular inspections.
For the most effective protection against dental disease, professional cleanings are recommended. Our thorough cleanings encompass areas beneath the gums that are not visible or accessible during home care.
If your pet exhibits signs such as brown/yellow teeth, bad breath, or difficulty eating, these could indicate dental issues. Call us today at (515) 255-4464 to learn more and schedule your pet’s essential dental cleaning.
