Your Pets Bad Breath can be a Warning Sign!

If your pet has bad breath don't ignore it! This can be a sign of periodontal disease and should be addressed by your veterinarian.

Wow!  Talk about bad breath!  Had a patient today with awful breath that could clear out an entire amphitheater on a Sunday.  Unfortunately years of neglect are now having a significant impact on this pet’s life quality.  Fortunately – we can still offer treatment that will have a positive impact on her life.  Don’t neglect the signs of periodontal disease – bad breath is BAD breath and can signify significant disease; don’t ignore it!
