Many health problems start in the mouth.  Plaque, tartar, periodontal disease, and infected teeth serve as a source of inflammation and infection for the rest of the body.  There are many ways that dog and cat owners can help their veterinarian provide a healthy mouth for their pet.  Information about dental diets, brushing the pet's teeth, and appropriate chew toys can be found in the menu above.  Eagle Animal Clinic will be offering a Dental Special during February and March.  This is a great opportunity to have your pet's teeth cleaned and get a 10% discount on pre-anesthetic blood work, anesthesia, ultrasonic cleaning and polishing of teeth, and extractions if needed.   You can give your pet better health, greater comfort, and a cleaner smile.
