It can be hard to know when your dog is having dental problems? After all, dogs love to eat and they do it with enthusiasm. Even when eating may be painful. And too, most pet parents don’t really know what dental disease looks like in their dogs. Keeping up with Fido’s dental health not only helps keep him healthy but may also extend his lifespan.
Most dental issues stem from plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth. Just like with humans, dental problems in dogs only get worse when left untreated, and can even develop into other more serious health issues. So here are a few signs to watch for that may indicate your pooch has dental problems:
Inflamed or bleeding gums
Yellow teeth
Bad breath
Your dog seems unusually sluggish or lethargic
Change in eating habits
Stops playing with dog chew toys
If your canine buddy is showing one or more of the above signs, call a pet clinic Matthews NC today.
