Dental disease is more common in pets than you might think—it starts when bacteria, plaque, and tartar build up on their teeth and get trapped beneath the gumline. This can cause pain and lead to serious health issues as the bacteria can enter the bloodstream and affect major organs. By the age of three, most dogs and cats show some degree of dental disease.

Early signs to watch for include bad breath, yellow tartar buildup, and red, swollen gums. That’s why Dr. Tarter and Dr. Lantzer recommend an annual wellness visit that includes a full dental exam. Catching these issues early can make a big difference in your pet’s health and happiness. 🐶🐱❤️

Look at that happy face! 🐶❤️ Regular wellness exams are key to keeping your pets healthy and happy. Schedule your pet’s routine exam today and let’s keep those tails wagging! 🐾

Did you know that your dog's waste can throw off a whole ecosystem if it's not disposed of properly? While you may think that it acts as a fertilizer, it does the opposite. Dog waste does not break down on its own due to its high acidity and elevated levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. If it's not scooped up, the bacteria can infect fruits and vegetables, and pollute groundwater in the area!
