Why Your Exotic Pet Needs to See the Vet

Dental disease in pets often goes unnoticed, but it’s a serious issue that can lead to chronic pain and even organ damage when bacteria from the mouth enter the bloodstream. By age three, up to 90% of dogs and cats already show signs of periodontal disease, making early detection and prevention essential for lifelong health.
Watch for signs such as bad breath, yellow or brown tartar, bleeding or red gums, pawing at the mouth, or difficulty chewing. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time for an oral exam. Most pets benefit from annual dental cleanings, though those with small mouths, flat faces, or existing dental issues may require more frequent care. Our team can recommend the right schedule for your pet based on their breed, age, and oral health.
