Did you know that by the time they are three years old, most dogs and cats have some kind of tooth and gum disease?
Or that these conditions, if unchecked, can result in organ damage, discomfort, and difficulties eating? Dogs and cats require regular dental care, such as cleanings and examinations, just like people do. Choose Animal Hospital of Pleasanton for pet dentistry in Pleasanton and the surrounding areas, and we'll give your furry friend's teeth and gums the TLC they need.
The Value of Dental Care for Pets
By far, one of the most prevalent medical conditions affecting dogs and cats is periodontal disease. Unfortunately, even some of the most considerate and well-intentioned pet owners are unaware of how crucial regular dental care is for their four-legged family members.
There is a good chance that your pet has periodontal disease if they have foul breath. Another early warning sign is discolored teeth. Without the right care, your beloved pet could feel very uncomfortable and experience pain and trouble eating. Over time, infections that start in the mouth can also spread throughout the body and damage the kidneys, liver, and heart.
