Periodontal disease is one of the most common infections facing dogs and cats. Dental related infections can cause significant systemic disease if left untreated, damaging the kidneys, liver, and heart valves. Did you know that 80% of dogs three years and older have some form of periodontal disease? The doctors and staff at SSAH know the importance of good dental care to maintain a long healthy life for your pet.
