Preventative Health Care:
At Companion Animal Hospital our emphasis is on preventative health care. We offer health care packages that include a wide range of services for a variety of life stages at an affordable price.
Dentistry:
Dental care for your pet is an important part of preventative care. Regular teeth brushing, offering appropriate treats and chew toys, and regular veterinary visits are all important aspects of dental care Most pets need their teeth cleaned every year. Failure to have this done often results in dogs and cats that present with infected teeth and gums who can be in considerable pain whether their owners are aware of this or not. Peridontal disease is the most common disease in dogs and cats.Chronic infections can spread to the heart, liver, lungs and kidneys where they can do even more damage.
Teeth cleaning for your dog or cat is very similar to having your own teeth cleaned, except that the dog or cat must be anesthetized. When the pet is asleep it is possible to do a complete oral exam. Often it is discovered that the pet has fractured or abscessed teeth, cavities,or other oral lesions that can then be addressed while the pet is still asleep.
To determine if your pet has peridontal disease look for the following signs:
* Bad breath
* Red or swollen gums
* Bleeding gums
* Loose teeth
* Broken or missing teeth
* Refusal to eat or dropping food
If your pet exhibits any of these symptoms please make an appointment for an evaluation.
