15.01.2022 We always recommend bringing your pet to one of our clinics for an annual dental checkup with your vet. However, there are plenty of things you can do at home to keep on top of your pets oral health year-round! Brush their teeth - the best way to remove plaque and tartar build up at home. Buy an appropriate pet toothbrush and toothpaste, start with a gentle gum rub and work your way up to a vigorous brush. Feed dry food - dry food can help prevent plaque and tartar b...uildup by scraping against the teeth as your pet eats. If your pet needs some extra help we recommend Hills Prescription Diet t/d Dental Care. Dental chews - treat your pet to some VOHC approved dental chews designed to help remove plaque from teeth. Mouth wash - try adding a few drops of a VOHC approved water additive to your pets bowl to help reduce plaque and inflammation. Regular dental checks - We recommend having your pets dental health checked annually by your vet. This allows us to detect problems early. Whenever there is an excessive build-up of tartar or dental calculus on the teeth we perform a full clean and scale under general anaesthetic. Problem teeth can also be removed during the procedure.

08.01.2022 Did you know that more than 80% of cats and dogs over the age of four suffer from dental disease? While most owners think bad breath is normal for their pet, thats not actually the case! Dental disease can cause a lot of discomfort, and may ultimately lead to more serious issues for your fluffy friend. Dental disease affects more than 80% of dogs and cats over age four. Just like humans, dogs and cats accumulate bacteria, debris and plaque from the food they eat ...on the outside of their teeth. When left uncleaned, this coating of germs hardens to form tartar which can irritate the gums and eventually lead to gingivitis and tooth loss. The bacteria can even enter the bloodstream, causing damage to kidneys and other vital organs. Look out for bad breath, discolouration of teeth, inflammation of the gums, difficulty eating and excessive drooling. By providing your pet with regular dental care (both at home and from your vet) dental disease is largely preventable.
