As a pet parent, you probably focus on high-quality food, plenty of exercise, and regular vaccinations. But there is one area of pet health that often gets overlooked until it becomes a problem: pet dental care.
At Sugarloaf Animal Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona, we believe that a healthy mouth is the gateway to a healthy body. To help our community prioritize oral hygiene, we are excited to announce our 10% Dental Month Special for dogs and cats in February!
Why is Oral Health Important for Dogs and Cats?
Did you know that by age three, over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of periodontal disease? Unlike a simple cavity in humans, dental disease in pets can have systemic consequences.
Preventing “Silent” Pain: Pets are experts at hiding discomfort. A broken tooth or infected gums can cause chronic pain that affects their mood and appetite.
Protecting Vital Organs: Bacteria from plaque and tartar can enter the bloodstream through inflamed gums. Once “mobile,” these bacteria can travel to and damage the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Avoiding Costly Extractions: Routine veterinary dental cleanings remove tartar before it causes permanent bone loss, helping your pet keep their teeth for a lifetime.
Signs Your Pet Needs a Dental Checkup
If you notice any of the following, it’s time to search for a “veterinarian near me” and book an exam:
Persistent bad breath (it’s not just “dog breath!”)
Yellow or brown buildup on the teeth
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
Difficulty chewing or dropping food
Pawing at the mouth or excessive drooling
