Why Teeth Matter More Than Most Dog Parents Realize?
Your dog’s mouth is a gateway to their overall health. When dental care is inconsistent, issues don’t stay limited to bad breath or tartar buildup.
Poor dental hygiene can contribute to:
Chronic pain that often goes unnoticed
Inflammation and infection that spread beyond the mouth
Changes in eating, behavior, and energy levels
More serious health concerns that require veterinary intervention
The challenge is that dental issues tend to progress quietly. By the time symptoms are obvious, they’re often advanced.

Teeth Brushing
Routine brushing (included with every visit!) helps keep plaque, tartar, and stinky breath at bay—helping your pup's smile stay fresh and healthy.
Home Care
Keeping up with your dog’s dental care between visits is vital! Dental chews & water additives are hassle-free additions to your pup’s at-home care that you both can feel good about.
