Pet Dental Care
Brown Animal Hospital emphasizes maintaining your pet’s dental health to support their overall well-being.
Why Pet Dental Care Matters
Regular dental care plays a crucial role in your pet’s overall well-being. Dental disease is one of pet’s most common health issues, affecting nearly 80% of dogs and 70% of cats by age three. Neglected oral health can lead to:
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Tooth decay and tooth loss
- Painful infections
- Gum disease (periodontal disease)
- Heart, liver, or kidney problems due to bacterial spread
By addressing dental care early, you can prevent serious health issues and extend your pet’s life quality. That’s where our expert dental service comes in, treating your pet’s teeth and gums with comprehensive care for a cleaner mouth and overall bill of health.
