Have you looked in your pet's mouth lately? 85% of adult pets have dental disease. If left untreated, dental disease can lead to pain, tooth loss and chronic infection for the pet. As dental disease continuously progresses, it can lead to more serious health issues including damage of the heart, liver and kidneys. A dental, also called a prophy, is a cleaning and polishing of the teeth. Your pet's teeth should be examined for redness or bleeding around gums (gingivitis) Gingi...vitis left untreated can progress into plaque in your pet's mouth and mineralize into tartar. Tartar blocks healthy oxygen from bathing the tooth and allows bacteria to thrive. This causes harm to the bone and tissues of the gums. Eventually the bone around the tooth is eaten away and the gums become sensitive. Perio means "around" Dontal means "tooth". Periodontal disease is disease around the outside of the tooth. Signs your pet is suffering from Periodontal disease *bad breath *tooth loss *dropping food from mouth *red, inflammed gums *abnormal drooling *going to food bowl but not eating *pawing at mouth What does a professional Dental Cleaning and polish consist of? * General Exam before anesthesia *Pre Operative blood work *IV catheter and Fluids (optional) *General anesthesia *Anesthesia monitoring throughout the procedure *Removal of plaque and tartar above the gumline and below the gumline *Polishing *Irrigation *Complete dental charting *Oral surgery if needed *Anesthetic recovery *Home care At Home Dental Care Brushing daily is the number 1 thing you can do for dental care!

Blue-green algae thrives during hot seasons and can be found in non-flowing water including rivers, pools and decorative ponds. It makes the water look murky like pea soup or as if paint has been poured into it. Blue-green algae can FATALLY POISON all types of pets, but its especially harmful to dogs. There is NO antidote for the toxins that it produces. Immediate veterinary care is crucial. How to Protect Your Pet: - If you see water with algae blooms, do not allow your dog... to swim in it or to drink it. - If your pet comes into contact with the algae, rinse them with fresh water, take them to your veterinary team, and call your Pet Poison Helpline right away. - Know the symptoms of poisoning: difficulty breathing, lethargy, vomiting, seizures, convulsions, drooling. If you suspect blue-green algae poisoning, please contact us at 306-373-3500.

To keep up-to-date, we are following guidelines for best practic...es from local, national and international health authorities.
