Help , this came from a toy poodle today. Can we guess what is?

This is an upper molar tooth in a toy poodle - it is caked in tartar or calculus. Infected and painful, so it had to be removed. Dentists often think that "The tooth is the root of all evil"

🌼 Don’t let parasites spoil spring!

With warmer weather on the way, now is a good time to review your dog or cat’s parasite prevention.

Fleas, ticks and intestinal worms can cause discomfort and may lead to health problems if left untreated. Keeping prevention up to date is one of the simplest ways to help protect your pet throughout the season.

Every pet is different, so the most suitable parasite protection can depend on factors such as their age, lifestyle and environment.

If you’re unsure whether your pet is up to date, our team at Burwood Vet can help.

📞 Contact us to book a health check or ask about parasite prevention for your dog or cat.

🦷 Why are regular dental checks important for dogs and cats?

Dental disease can develop gradually, and many pets continue eating normally even when their mouth is painful.

A dental check allows our veterinary team to identify problems such as:

• Plaque and tartar build-up
• Red or inflamed gums
• Loose, damaged or infected teeth
• Oral pain and bad breath

These before-and-after images show the difference professional dental care can make. Regular dental checks can help detect problems early and reduce the risk of pain, infection and tooth loss.

Has your pet had their teeth checked recently?
