Dental Care
Taking care of our furry friends means juggling a lot of responsibilities, and dental care is one of the most important yet often forgotten parts. Just like we need our regular checkups at the dentist, pets also require proper dental health to keep those wagging tails and purring sounds going strong! This includes preventing issues like plaque buildup and gum disease. Luckily, with the rise of mobile veterinary services, pet owners can enjoy the convenience of dental cleaning right at home. But how do you know if mobile vet dental cleaning is the best fit for your beloved companion? Let’s explore the wonderful benefits, the easy process, and some important things to think about to help you make the best decision for your furry family member.
The mouth can be a busy place for the millions of bacteria that live there. While some aren’t always dangerous, others, if allowed to remain in the mouth for long periods of time, can attack the teeth and gums. The irritation and infection within the mouth that is a result of these harmful bacteria is known as periodontal disease or gum disease. When we imagine gum disease, we often think of our own oral health, but rarely do we imagine the oral health of our pets. However, over 80% of dogs and cats show early signs of gum disease by the age of three, making it one of the most prevalent diseases for our furry friends.
