🦷🐾 Dental Disease: It’s More Than Just Bad Breath!

Did you know that over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by age 3?

Dental disease can cause:
🐾 Painful, inflamed, and bleeding gums
🦷 Tooth infections, abscesses, and tooth loss
🐾 Permanent bone loss around the teeth
🦷 Difficulty eating, chewing, and changes in behaviour
🐾 Bacteria and inflammation that can affect health beyond the mouth

The surprising part? Many pets continue eating and acting normally, even with significant dental pain!

Professional dental cleanings do more than remove tartar. They allow us to clean beneath the gumline, take dental X-rays, identify hidden disease, and help preserve healthy teeth.

❤️ Prevention is easier than treating advanced dental disease!

Not sure when your pet last had a dental cleaning? Now is the perfect time to find out!

✨ Book a complimentary dental assessment with one of our Registered Veterinary Technologists at West Springs Veterinary Hospital!

We'll assess your pet's visible dental health, discuss recommendations, and help you plan their next steps.

📞 Contact us today to schedule your complimentary assessment!

🐶🐱 Healthy mouths, happier pets!

Feta is growing WAY too fast, but luckily we’ve got plenty of puppy vaccines to keep her coming back for cuddles!

She may be getting bigger, but she’ll always be a little puppy at West Springs Vet Hospital. And no matter how big she gets… yes, we’re still carrying her like a puppy.
