Canine Dental Care for Your Pets

1. CANINE DENTAL CARE FOR YOUR PETS Dogs face health problems just like humans do. As owners, it is our duty to regularly take our pets to a vet to assess their health needs. Dogs do have dental problems which can be detected easily if we notice the signs. If the problem is left untreated, it can lead to dog dental surgery. There are certain warning signs that can indicate health concerns. The signs below are helpful to keep in mind: (1) Halitosis - Also known as bad breath. It’s common in dogs, but it’s not good long term. (2) Gingivitis - This is a bacterial infection which grows in the roots between the teeth and gums. (3)Periodontitis – This disease occurs when the infection grows and is converted into tartar. You can see blood spots while they chew their toy or food. As a responsible owner, you should not neglect your dog’s oral hygiene. Take your pet to an animal clinic near you to avoid dental surgery. In Albuquerque, the vets at Petroglyph Animal Hospital are always available for your furry friend. Add: 6633 Caminito Coors NW, Albuquerque, NM 87120 Phone: 505-898-8874
