Dentistry
Dental disease has been described as the rotten root(s) of all evil. This is because in humans it has been linked to heart, liver and kidney disease. The same links have been evidenced in our pets. Approximately 80% of pets have some form of dental disease by the age of four. The most classic sign is bad breath. Others include: plaque and tartar buildup, reddened gums or gingivitis, excessive salivation, chattering teeth and difficulty chewing food.
It is now well documented that proper dental care can add 2-4 years to your pet’s life. At Greencross Vets we offer the highest quality dental care available, utilizing state-of-the-art dental equipment, similar to what you would find at a human dentist. Once the initial plaque and tartar is removed, our staff will assist you in constructing a plan to provide at-home dental hygiene aimed at preventing re-occurrence.
We also stock a number of easy-to-feed prescription diets that help prevent tartar re-occurance. We offer you a peace of mind guarantee when you purchase these products, so that if your pet does not find the diet palatable, you can return the food for a complete refund.
You will be amazed at the appearance and smell of your pet’s mouth after a dental, and also be surprised at their new lease on life, improved demeanor, and love for food once again!
