Dental Services

Dental care is vital to the overall health of any pet. Dental disease can lead to health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys, and can affect the entire body through the bloodstream. In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population.

In spite of these disturbing facts, many pet owners are not aware of the importance of dental care to their pets’ health. The most effective way to protect your pet from dental disease is through professional cleanings. We perform thorough cleanings as dental X-rays here at Border Animal Hospital, including the area beneath the gums that you can’t see or access at home.
