Does your best friend have bad breath? Despite what many pet owners may believe, “dog breath†is not just a nuisance – it’s a sign of an unhealthy mouth. Bad breath is caused by bacteria. Over time, bacteria lead to plaque and tartar buildup on your pet’s teeth. The result is bad breath, reddened gums, and other common signs of dental disease. As dental disease progresses, other signs can include drooling, discomfort while chewing, and loose or missing teeth. Even if you’re using treats and chews to help control tartar, these are frequently not enough to keep dental disease in check. Ask us about the best ways to control plaque and help protect your pet from dental disease.
Vaccination
Pets today can live longer, healthier lives than ever before with our pet vaccines in Brooklyn that help protect them from deadly infectious diseases. Over the years, vaccines against dangerous diseases have saved millions of pets and virtually eliminated some fatal diseases that were once common. Unfortunately, many infectious diseases still pose a significant threat to dogs and cats that are unvaccinated. Although vaccine programs have been highly successful and vaccines are considered routine today, we (as caregivers) and you (as pet parents) cannot afford to become complacent about keeping pets up-to-date on their vaccinations.
Nutritional Counseling
Comprehensive Examination
Preventative medicine is the key to keeping your pet happy and healthy. We believe that all pets should undergo a comprehensive wellness exam annually, which focuses on all body systems and helps us identify health conditions in your pet before they become difficult and expensive to treat. These exams enable us to create an overall picture of your pet’s health status, combining aspects of your pet’s at home routine and history with physical exam findings to create straightforward recommendations for your pet’s continued wellbeing.
At PAWSitive Veterinary of New York, we offer a range of preventative and wellness services – including exams, vaccinations, intestinal parasite testing and control, heartworm testing and prevention, FeLV/FIV testing, microchipping, nutrition, and more. We can also treat your pet should they become sick from illness or injury.
Dental hygiene is an important part of your pet’s health, because dental disease can be associated with other serious health problems such as heart disease and kidney disease. But how do you know if your pet has a healthy mouth? Let us examine your pet’s teeth and gums to help determine if there are any dental issues you should know about. After a brief visual examination, we may recommend a more detailed examination (which requires sedation), a dental cleaning, or options for at-home dental care.
