January is the perfect time to prioritize your pet’s health, and what better way to kick off the year than by focusing on their dental care? At The Whole Pet Vet Hospital & Pet Wellness Center, we know that keeping your pet’s teeth clean is about more than just a fresh smile—it’s crucial for their overall health. Let’s explore why pet dental health matters, and how a January check-up can set your furry friend up for success.

If you have a pet, chances are they give you many hours of laughter, joy, and fun. Whatever your pet’s personality, giving them the best care is top priority. But when was the last time you thought about your dog or cat’s dental health? What starts out as a little bad breath can quickly progress to full blown periodontal disease, if left untreated.

Periodontal disease is the progressive inflammation of the supporting structures of the teeth. It causes bad breath, gingivitis, and tooth loss. Even worse, bacteria in the mouth can enter the bloodstream and travel to your pet’s internal organs, causing liver, heart, and kidney problems.

Most of us would rather not look inside our pet’s mouths to see what’s really going on in there. So let The Whole Pet Vet Hospital and Wellness Center show you the hidden dangers of pet dental disease, and how we treat and prevent it.
