Wouldn’t It Be Great If They Could Just Brush Their Teeth Twice A Day?

Since they can’t, we’ve got a plan. Urban Animal educates our clients about what they can do to lessen the need for invasive and costly procedures. However, when those things are needed, we are here to help.

Our dental department is led by a team of veterinary professionals who concentrate on dentistry and oral surgery every day. This allows the team to focus on your pet’s safety utilizing current standard operating procedures with optimal proficiency for the best of care.

Although Urban Animal does not recommend annual dental cleanings, we stress the importance of preventative care to enhance your pet’s quality of life. Any recommended treatment is for long-term health or when medically indicated. Our team can talk about ways of brushing their teeth, healthy chewing practices, and other preventative methods for good at-home oral care to reduce further visits.

Oral health is important to your pet’s total health and bacteria from a diseased mouth has been shown to be a contributing factor in the development of liver, kidney, and heart disease. Some warning signs your pet may have dental disease:

  • Bad breath
  • Change in eating habits
  • Swallowing food whole or dropping food from mouth
  • Pawing at the mouth
  • Excessive drooling
  • Loss of teeth
  • Brown/yellow buildup on teeth
  • Inflamed or bleeding gums
  • Lethargy
