Is bad breath driving a wedge between you and your pet?
Contrary to popular belief, foul breath isn’t something that pet parents simply must learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably a red flag that your pet needs to visit the dentist.
Without proper care, your pet’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can enter the bloodstream and lead to a number of other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your best friend’s life.
Thankfully, with the right support, this can all be prevented.
The professional dentistry services at Aldershot Animal Hospital include both routine, preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions.
