Treating your pets as our own


While February is National Pet Dental Health Month, dental health should be a daily ritual for your pet all year. Early signs of dental disease in pets include bad breath, yellow tartar buildup on the teeth, and red and swollen gums. If left untreated, it will progress to cause chronic pain and inflammation. It’s recommended your pet has a dental exam at least once a year to detect dental disease before it negatively affects your pet’s quality of life.

Whether your pet is a youngster, a “senior citizen,” or any age in between, wellness examinations provide an excellent opportunity for us to conduct a thorough physical examination and develop a health profile for your pet.

- Dental CareDespite what many pet owners may believe, “dog breath” is not just a nuisance – it’s a sign of an unhealthy mouth. Bad breath is caused by bacteria. Over time, bacteria leads to plaque and tartar buildup on your pet’s teeth. The result is bad breath, reddened gums, and other common signs of dental disease.

I love how amazing Dr. Ballou was with my 12 year-old "puppy" during our first ever visit this week. He did not recommend unnecessary services like our last doctor used to and I will now consider myself a permanent customer here. ❤Crys P
