Pet Dental Health Month

By February 4, 2025No Comments

Did you know that by the age of three, most pets show signs of periodontal disease? This common yet preventable condition can lead to discomfort, tooth loss, and even serious health issues. At Happy Pets Animal Hospital, we’re committed to raising awareness about the importance of pet dental care. That’s why we’re excited to celebrate Pet Dental Health Month this February with an exclusive offer: enjoy 15% off all dental procedures for your furry companions!

Why Pet Dental Health Matters

Just like humans, pets need proper oral hygiene to stay healthy. Neglecting dental care can lead to:

  • Bad Breath: Halitosis may seem harmless, but it’s often a sign of underlying dental problems.
  • Tooth Loss: Without regular care, plaque buildup can cause gum disease and tooth loss.
  • Pain and Discomfort: Dental disease can make eating difficult and reduce your pet’s quality of life.
  • Serious Health Risks: Bacteria from periodontal disease can enter the bloodstream, potentially affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Signs Your Pet May Have Dental Issues

Look out for these symptoms that may indicate dental problems:

  • Foul breath
  • Red or swollen gums
  • Difficulty chewing or eating
  • Excessive drooling
  • Yellow or brown tartar buildup on teeth

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a dental check-up.

How to Keep Your Pet’s Teeth Healthy

  1. Routine Check-Ups: Regular veterinary visits can help catch dental issues early.
  2. At-Home Care: Brush your pet’s teeth using pet-safe toothpaste and dental chews.
  3. Professional Cleanings: These thorough cleanings remove tartar and plaque from below the gumline, where toothbrushes can’t reach.
