Is bad breath making it difficult to get close to your pet?
Despite what you may have heard, stinky breath isn’t something that pet owners simply must learn to live with. In fact, to the contrary, it’s probably a sign that your pet needs to visit the dentist. Without appropriate care and attention, your companion’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria. Over time, this bacteria can spread through the bloodstream, causing many 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 all be prevented.
Signs of Dental Disease
The professional dentistry services at Best Friends Animal Clinic include both routine and 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:

Swollen or painful face
Pawing at the mouth
