Are you aware that your pet’s dental health has a significant impact on the animal’s wellness and longevity?
About 95% of cats and dogs in the US have some form of dental problem at one time or another. Dogs and cats over 3 years of age are often affected by periodontal disease, which is an infection of the teeth, gums, and associated structures. The symptoms of dental disease in cats and dogs include:
- Foul-smelling breath
- Teeth that are loose, broken, or discolored
- Excessive drooling
- Pawing at the mouth
- Loss of appetite
- Bleeding from the mouth
- Swelling around the mouth area
In addition to effects on the mouth, teeth, and gums, periodontal disease can also have a negative impact on major organs of the body, such as the heart, kidneys, and lungs.
Your pet will benefit from regular health and dental checks at your vet clinic Covington, GA.
