When to Seek Dental Care for Your Pet
Bad Breath
Persistent bad breath is often an early indicator of dental issues in pets. If your pet’s breath has an unpleasant odor, it may be time for a dental examination.
Difficulty Eating
Changes in eating habits, reluctance to chew, or dropping food could signal dental discomfort. Pay attention to any signs of pain or discomfort during mealtime.
Excessive Drooling
While some drooling is normal, excessive drooling may indicate dental problems. If you notice a sudden increase in drool, consult our experienced veterinarians.
Red or Swollen Gums
Healthy gums should be pale pink. If you observe redness, swelling, or bleeding, it’s a clear sign that your pet’s oral health needs attention.
