👀😬 Are you paying attention to your pet's dental health? Dental disease is a common issue that can cause chronic pain and discomfort for pets.

But since they can't tell us when they're in pain, it's up to us as pet owners to be vigilant. Look out for signs of dental disease like bad breath, yellow buildup on teeth, and swollen gums.

Annual dental evaluations as part of your pet's regular preventive care exam can help detect issues early, before they cause serious problems. A proper dental procedure can make a world of difference for your furry friend! (615) 444-4422

Lebanon Animal Hospital checks both back legs, not just the sore one, and explains TPLO, TTA, and extracapsular repair. The full breakdown is on the blog.

A dog's cruciate ligament usually fails from slow wear, not one bad jump, so the second knee is often at risk too. Learn what that means for both back legs.
