A Healthy Mouth Leads to a Healthy Heart!

Just think how your mouth and teeth would feel if you didn't brush them every day! The same applies to your pet's teeth.

Those special foods and chew toys help, but they don't remove the plaque and food debris below the gumline where the bacteria flourish.

We can clean your pet's teeth in the same way you get your teeth cleaned at your dentist twice a year. We also have flavored and non-rinsing tooth pastes that your pets will enjoy so that you can provide daily care for them.

Check your pet's mouth for the following trouble signs:

	Persistent bad breath
	Sensitivity around the mouth
	Pawing at the mouth
	Loss of appetite
	Plaque (often visible when stained)
	Bleeding, inflamed, or receded gums
	Tartar (creamy-brown, hard material)
	Loose or missing teeth
	Difficulty eating and chewing food
