Is stinky breath coming between you and your pet?
Despite what you may have been told, bad breath isn’t something that pet owners must simply learn to live with. In fact, to the contrary – it’s probably a sign that your pet needs to visit the dentist.
Without appropriate care, your companion’s mouth can attract bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your loved one’s life.
The good news is, with the right support, this is entirely preventable.
The professional dentistry services at Healing Touch Veterinary Wellness Center include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions.
Some of the common signs of dental disease in dogs and cats include, but are not limited to:

- Yellow, broken, loose or missing teeth
