Many pet owners are terrified by the thought of their pet undergoing anesthesia. In some cases, this fear and uncertainty can prevent pets from receiving the medical care they need and deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort is our top priority. Prior to receiving anesthesia, we will perform a thorough physical exam on your pet, review your pet’s medical history and discuss any risk factors. We will also perform blood tests specific to your pet to check for any medical problems or anesthetic risks. Our staff is compassionate, well trained and skilled in delivering anesthesia. All patients are thoroughly monitored before, during, and after a procedure to help ensure the best possible outcome. Four out of five pets are living with infection and pain from dental disease, odds are your pet could be one of them. Have you noticed your pet avoiding their favorite chew toy, reluctant to eat dry kibble, pawing at their mouth or bad breath? These are all signs of Periodontal disease. The unpleasant odor thought to be simply “bad breath” is evidence of a potentially dangerous health risk. Fortunately for your pet periodontal disease is preventable. Regular examinations by our doctor can reveal early signs of the disease. Our doctor may recommend routine dental cleanings followed by an at home dental program. At River Mill Animal Hospital, a professional cleaning includes: a full oral exam, gum recession measure, ultra-sonic scaling to remove plaque and tartar, polishing to smooth the tooth’s surface and a fluoride treatment to protect from bacteria. After a professional cleaning it is important to keep your pet’s teeth sparkling. Regular brushing prevents plaque from accumulating and forming into tartar. Tartar control treats are a great way to reward your pet and help clean their teeth. One tasty treat a day is equivalent to a manual brushing. Your pet’s dental health is important to us, even if you think your pet’s teeth and gums are fine we can offer expert advice to help you keep them that way. Please call us today to discuss your dental care needs and how we can help.
