Is stinky breath coming between you and your pet?

Contrary to popular belief, bad breath isn’t something that pet owners must simply learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably a sign that your pet could use a visit to the dentist. 

Without proper care, your pet’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and lead to a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your best friend’s life. 

The good news is, with the right support, this is preventable.

The professional dentistry services at Flamingo Pet Clinic include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. 

Some of the common signs of dental disease in companion animals may include:

• Bad breath
• Excessive drooling
• Dropping food 
• Sudden disinterest in chew toys
• Loss of appetite
• Swollen or painful face
• Pawing at the mouth
• Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
• Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding

If your pet is exhibiting any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a dental exam. We’ll identify the problem and address it quickly, improving the prognosis for your loved one. We’ll also show you techniques you can use at home to help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free year-round. 

You deserve to enjoy lots of close snuggles with your pet. The comprehensive dental services at Flamingo Pet Clinic can help get you there!
