Dentistry

Is your pet’s breath downright cringe-worthy?

Despite what you may have heard, stinky breath isn’t something that pet owners must simply learn to live with. In fact, to the contrary – it’s probably a sign that your pet needs to visit the dentist. 

Without proper care, your pet’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and lead to a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your loved one’s life. 

Fortunately, with the right support, this can all be prevented.

The professional dentistry services at Arrow Veterinary Clinic include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. 

Some of the signs of dental disease in companion animals include, but are not limited to:

• Bad breath
• Excessive drooling
• Dropping food 
• Sudden disinterest in chew toys
• Loss of appetite
• Swollen or painful face
• Pawing at the mouth
• Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
• Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding

If your pet is exhibiting any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a dental checkup. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the chances of a good prognosis. We’ll also show you how you can help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round. 

You deserve to enjoy lots of close snuggles with your four-legged friend. The comprehensive dental services at Arrow Veterinary Clinic can help get you there!
