Your Pet Shouldn't Suffer From Bad Breath

Despite what you may have been told, stinky breath isn’t something that pet owners must simply learn to live with. In fact, it’s probably a sign that your pet needs to visit the dentist. 

Without adequate care, your companion’s mouth can become a haven for bacteria, which can spread through the bloodstream and cause several other health problems. Left untreated, dental disease can even shorten your loved one’s life. 

Fortunately, with the right support, this can all be prevented.

The professional dentistry services at Benson Animal Hospital include both routine and preventative care as well as advanced treatment for existing oral conditions. Call today to make an appointment. We offer 10% OFF for military members.
