Caring for your pets teeth.

Did you know that dental problems are probably one of the most common issues our pets suffer from, yet concerns are often not mentioned, as bad breath is considered as “normal” by many pet owners.

If you have ever had a filling at the dentist you will understand how uncomfortable dental disease can be, sadly, cats and dogs are extremely good at hiding their pain. Our Autumn Pet Blog discusses what’s normal and the signs to watch out for. A home dental care routine can be started from when you first bring home your new pet, ask our friendly team to explain more at your puppy or kittens next appointment.

How the heart pumps,
