🦷 What’s hiding beneath your pet’s smile? 🐾

A pet’s teeth can look healthy on the outside while problems are developing below the gumline.

That’s why dental X-rays are such an important part of your pet’s dental care. They allow our veterinary team to see areas that we simply can’t see during a routine oral examination.

🔍 Dental X-rays can help us:

🦷 Detect hidden dental disease below the gumline
🔎 Assess tooth roots for infection, damage or abnormalities
💡 Identify teeth that may need treatment or extraction
🐾 Help us create the safest and most appropriate dental treatment plan

Many dental problems can cause significant discomfort before there are obvious signs at home. Finding them early means we can address them before they become more serious.

Because a healthy smile starts below the gumline. ❤️

Ask our veterinary team about dental X-rays at your pet’s next dental check-up.

Many everyday foods that are perfectly safe for us can be dangerous - even life-threatening - for our pets.

Some common culprits include:
🍫 Chocolate
🍇 Grapes & raisins
🧅 Onions & garlic
🥑 Avocado
🥜 Macadamia nuts
🦴 Cooked bones
☕ Caffeine
🍺 Alcohol
🍬 Xylitol (found in many sugar-free products)

If you think your pet has eaten something toxic, don’t wait for symptoms to appear. Contact us or your nearest emergency vet as soon as possible. Early treatment can make all the difference.

Save this post so you know what to watch out for, and share it with another pet owner - it could help keep a furry friend safe. ❤️

Our pets are incredibly good at hiding pain, so the signs aren’t always obvious. Small changes in their behaviour can often be their way of telling us something isn’t right.

Keep an eye out for:
🐾 Sleeping more than usual
🐾 Reluctance to jump, run or use stairs
🐾 Changes in appetite
🐾 Behaviour changes like hiding, clinginess or irritability
🐾 Excessive licking or reduced grooming
🐾 Panting, shaking or changes in posture

If your pet seems “not quite themselves”, trust your instincts. It’s always worth having them checked by a vet.

📞 If you’re concerned about your pet, give us a call - we’re here to help.
