August is Pet Dental Health Month in Australia

Does your dog have bad breath?

August is pet dental month and during August we are offering free dental checks for your dog or cat. Call us on (02) 4228 3777 to book your appointment now.

August is National Pet Dental Health Month in Australia. The initiative is part of a worldwide effort to reduce incidence of the most common ailment in adult pets: oral disease.

According to veterinary research, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by the time they are three. Signs of disease include: persistent bad breath, a yellow-brown tartar crust at the gum line, red and swollen gums, pawing at the mouth and face, bleeding, sensitivity to touch, changes in eating and chewing habits and depression (recognisable as listlessness).

Left untreated, pet oral disease causes significant pain through tooth decay and gum infection, and can pass damaging and even life-threatening bacteria through the bloodstream to the heart, liver and kidneys.

For more tips on preventing dental disease view the preventative healthcare information on our facilities/services page.
