Dental Healthcare

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.
