More Than A Pretty Smile
All Pets Animal Hospital & 24-Hour Emergency Care offers comprehensive dental care options for the pets of Katy, Texas. Just like people, pets benefit from good dental hygiene and can develop periodontal disease when oral hygiene is not practiced.
Keeping the mouth clean not only prevents malodorous breath, it also stops the spread of bacterial disease. In an unhealthy mouth, the pet’s gums become inflamed, allowing a breeding ground for bacteria and a place where the bacteria and toxins can enter the body and spread to other systems It is estimated that keeping a pet’s mouth clean can add up to five years to its life.
