WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Jan. 31, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Best Friends Animal Hospital servicing Winnipeg and the surrounding areas of Manitoba, Canada, is starting out the year 2016 with a focus on pet dental health. Dental health is foundational to overall health, and Best Friends Animal Hospital is taking steps to remind pet owners to seek annual exams for their pets and support a healthy lifestyle.
Simple preventative measures can go a long way toward ongoing pet health and well-being. One of the most important steps pet owners can take is to schedule annual exams that include a dental examination. Another is to only choose pet products of the highest quality designed to support optimal health and ongoing well-being. Best Friends Animal Hospital of Winnipeg recommends the Royal Canin Dental Diet for pet health and longevity.
Some of the symptoms of dental issues are foul-smelling breath, bleeding or redness of the gums, dropping food, loosened teeth, excessive drooling, sensitivity around the mouth, and loss of appetite. Once these symptoms are present, they indicate that dental issues have likely progressed and become serious. Plaque forms on animal teeth just as it does in humans. If not removed early while soft, it can harden into tartar that affects the gums and connective tissue.
In addition to regular dental screenings, Best Friends Animal Hospital of Winnipeg, Manitoba, recommends feeding pets high quality food such as the Royal Canin Dental Diet. Preventative measures like these are ultimately the best defense against serious health issues down the road.
