Teeth Cleaning and Extraction
Whether you are a new owner, or whether your furry friend has shared your life for years, Affordable Animal Hospital in Southern California can be a trusted partner in working toward a long, healthy life for your pet.
Dental health is vital aspect of pet ownership that is too often overlooked. After all, “dog breath” is the norm for a dog, isn’t it? It’s not quite as simple as that, however. Your pet’s quality of life and health can be severely affected if dental or oral health problems are left untreated for too long.
Hidden in Plain Sight
Dental care for a pet? Is that a form of pampering that is reserved for only the most well-to-do and devoted animal lovers?
The fact is, dental care is a basic part of ensuring your pet stays healthy for as long as possible. At Affordable Animal Hospital in Covina, we provide a range of services to help you with this issue, from teeth cleaning to teeth extraction.
A Trained Eye
To stay proactive about your pet’s dental health, you need the trained eye of a professional. The best time to address dental issues is early in their development, and it’s not likely that you would be able to diagnose an emerging problem by looking in your pet’s mouth.
You can count on our staff to identify any dental issues that require attention, and to explain the best strategies and procedures for addressing them.
Problems Are to Be Expected
Over time, virtually every pet will develop some dental issues as a natural consequence of aging and constant use. Four out of five pets that are more than three years old have periodontal disease in some form.
Understanding this gives you an opportunity to be the kind of pet owner who goes beyond the basics, and who truly takes responsibility for a pet’s quality of life. Just because you may never see your pet do something that makes it clear that a problem exists, you can’t assume that everything is fine.
