Wellness Begins With A Checkup
It's easy to ignore the health of your pet's teeth. After all, if they don't have any issues with eating, and you provide them with regular dental care at home, what could possibly be wrong? Early detection and prevention are two of the most valuable tools that veterinarians have when it comes to pet dental wellness, and it's key to bring your pet in for regular dental checkups. At Hamilton Road Animal Hospital in Columbus, our veterinary staff is here to help you keep your pet's mouth healthy.
Cat & Dog Dental Care
Many cats and dogs suffer from gum disease. While this condition is common, it's also treatable. Gum disease that goes untreated can create a multitude of health issues for your pet over time, including damage to the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, and brain.
It's important to keep an eye out for signs that your pet may be suffering from dental issues. Signs of problems can include a loss of appetite, bad breath, pawing at the face or mouth, or crying/ trembling while trying to eat. If you notice that your pet is exhibiting any of these signs, it's important to schedule a dental checkup right away.
Of course, the best way to help keep your pet's mouth healthy is to stop problems from happening in the first place. By giving your pet regular dental checkups, you'll allow our veterinary staff to treat any problems before they become major issues, saving pain, heartache, and money down the line.
