Does your pet’s breath leave a lot to be desired?

Despite what you may have heard, bad breath isn’t something that pet owners simply must learn to live with. In fact, to the contrary – it’s probably a sign that your pet could use a visit to the dentist. 

Without proper care, your companion’s mouth can harbor harmful bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause a number of other medical problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your best friend’s life. 

Thankfully, with the right support, this is preventable.

The professional dentistry services available at The Corner Vet include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. 

Some common signs that could indicate an oral health problem 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 showing any of these signs, it’s time to book an appointment. We’ll identify the problem and address it promptly for the best possible prognosis. We’ll also show you how you can help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy and disease-free at home, in between visits. 

You deserve to enjoy lots of close cuddles and kisses with your pet. The Corner Vet’s comprehensive dental services can help get you there!
