DENTISTRY

Is your pet’s breath making it difficult to get close?

Contrary to popular belief, bad breath isn’t something that pet owners must simply learn to live with. In fact, it’s there’s a good chance your pet needs to visit the dentist.

Without proper care, your companion’s mouth can harbor dangerous bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your loved one’s life.

The good news is, with the right support, this can be prevented.
