Dental hygiene is one of the most important aspects
in caring for your pet.
Keeping your animal’s teeth and gums healthy will help
to prevent not only bad breath, periodontal disease, and an uncomfortable
or even painful mouth, but also more serious chronic conditions
such as kidney disease, liver disease, heart conditions and joint
problems.
There are many steps to help prevent this happening to your
pet. To look after your pet’s teeth they need: daily brushing,
a healthy diet, and exercise (chewing on hard food).
Mouth wash, drops and supplements are also a good way of keeping
your pet’s teeth in good condition. Regular check ups are
important too.
This is all simple to do and can be carried out at home.
We are now running nurse dental hygiene clinics. A routine dental check is recommended every 3 - 6 months to discuss any oral care issues. This check will be carried out FREE OF CHARGE by one of our nurses, Monday - Friday, 9.30 am - 12.30 pm. No appointment necessary. |
