Oral Care

A Pet Owners Guide

In need of a cleaning.

Signs Of Periodontal Disease

Abnormal Drooling
Dropping Food Out of Mouth

Periodontal Disease Can Lead To:

Heart Valve Infections
Kidney Damage
Liver Abscesses
Eating Disorders

Good Oral Care Regimine

Regular Dental Exams

With each visit to the Veterinarian, ask the docthor to examine the teeth and gums. You can do your part at home as well. You can check for bleeding gums, bad breath, and any change in chewing habits.

Yearly Prophylactic Scaling and Polishing

After a good cleaning.

A routine dental cleaning under anesthesia is an important part of your pet's oral care. Tartar and calculi are removed with an ultrasonic scaler and then the teeth are checked for infection or damage. X-Rays are taken to ensure there are no underlying root problems or issues that cannot be seen by the naked eye. After a thorough check they are polished and a fluoride treatment is applied. LLAMC highly recommends and sells products the client can use at home to prevent the reformation of tartar and plaque.

Senior Care Program

Growing old is a natural process for all of us. Unfortunately, our pets age faster than we do. We consider dogs and cats to be seniors at 7 years of age, with the exception of large breed dogs, who are seniors by the age of 5. Because our pets age at approximately 6-7 years to our 1 year, it is important that we identify health changes early, so we can address the issues and make your pet’s senior years as enjoyable as possible. We here at LLAMC feel our “Senior Care Program” is one of the most effective “tools” we have in improving the quality of your pet’s senior years.

Signs of an Aging Pet

Hearing Loss
Poor Eyesight
Increase in Drinking
Increase in Urination
Changes in Appetite
Changes in Weight
Difficulty Standing/Walking

Our Senior Program

Our staff will have the owner fill out a senior questionnaire once a year to inform the doctor of any changes that may be occurring at home.

A full comprehensive physical exam every 6 months.
A full blood profile every 6-12 months.
Adjusting your pet’s diet to a senior “friendly” food.

Frequently the changes and problems associated with aging are not obvious, and the signs are not noticed until the disease process is advanced. This is the reason we feel strongly that routine examinations and a blood profile at least once a year are so useful in helping our senior pets.
