Is stinky breath coming between you and your pet?

Contrary to popular belief, bad breath isn’t something that pet owners must simply learn to live with. In fact, it could be a sign that your pet needs to visit the dentist. 

Without proper care, your furry friend’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause a variety of 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 easily be prevented.

The professional dentistry services at 30th Street Animal Hospital include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. 

Some of the signs of dental disease in pets 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
