Every year, millions of unwanted dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens, are euthanized. The good news is that responsible pet owners can make a difference. By having your dog or cat sterilized, you will do your part to prevent the birth of unwanted puppies and kittens. Spaying and neutering prevent unwanted litters, help protect against some serious health problems, and may reduce many of the behavioral problems associated with the mating instinct.
Removing a female dog or cat’s ovaries eliminates heat cycles and generally reduces the unwanted behaviors that may lead to owner frustration. Removing the te**es from male dogs and cats reduces the breeding instinct, making them less inclined to roam and more content to stay at home.

Early spaying of female dogs and cats can help protect them from some serious health problems later in life such as uterine infections and breast cancer. Neutering your male pet can also lessen its risk of developing benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland) and testicular cancer.

The procedure has no effect on a pet’s intelligence or ability to learn, play, work or hunt. Some pets tend to be better behaved following surgical removal of their ovaries or te**es, making them more desirable companions.* *Source AVMA

FEBRUARY IS PET DENTAL MONTH

Caring for your pet’s teeth is essential for good oral health, and could add years to your pet’s life expectancy. Studies have shown that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats will suffer from some form of dental disease within the first few years of their lives.

Among the most common dental problems affecting pets is Periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is a widespread ailment that affects dogs and cats of all ages. Pets with periodontal disease will likely have inflamed, swollen, or infected gums, causing them to bleed easily. This can cause bad breath, and tooth decay as bacteria get trapped under the gum line. If left untreated periodontal disease can lead to your pet’s teeth falling out. The leading cause of periodontal disease is poor oral health, and is also linked to multiple other illnesses, and severe health issues.

AT HOME PREVENTION TIPS
• Prevention starts at home with a regular dental routine.
• Brush your pet’s teeth regularly, if possible daily to remove plaque, and tartar.
• For dogs, use a toothbrush specifically designed for dogs. They are similar to human toothbrushes but have much softer bristles.
• For cats or smaller dogs, you can use smaller toothbrushes that fit over your finger.
• Use pet friendly toothpaste, do not use toothpaste that contains fluoride as it is toxic to pets.
• Start with the front teeth and work you way to the back.
• Reward your pet after every brushing with a treat, preferably a healthy treat that promotes fresh breath.
Just like humans brush their teeth every day, and go to the dentist every year for a check-up and cleaning, so to should your pet!

SCHEDULE YOUR PET'S DENTAL CARE APPOINTMENT.
Regular check-ups will help your veterinarian to catch problems early on, and to address them before they become more severe. Your vet provides professional dental care that will help to prevent tooth decay, gum disease and other ailments. Together your pet live a happier, healthier and longer life.

Take advantage of Pet Dental Month to schedule your pet’s check-up today.
