Even though pets do not get cavities as often as people, they can still have many of the same dental issues. These include broken teeth, infections, gum disease, and problems with how their teeth fit together. Some pets may also have jaw injuries or be born with defects like cleft palate. The most common dental issue in pets is gum disease. By the time most dogs and cats are 3 years old, they already have early signs of this condition. If not treated, it can get worse and cause serious pain.
Anal glands are two small scent sacs inside a dog’s rectum.
When they fail to empty on their own, they swell, hurt, and may get infected.
Regular veterinary cleaning keeps your dog comfortable and prevents costly problems.
