Don’t forget that February is Dental Care Month and that dental care is one of the most neglected of pet health needs. Our pets need care for their teeth just as we do. Bad breath, drooling and pain while eating are some of the signs of periodontal disease. Regular dental check-ups at Riverside Veterinary Hospital and proper home care are important for good pet dental health.

GUESS THE X-RAYS???

                                           GUESS WHAT EACH PET HAS INGESTED?

Could you imagine how your mouth would feel if you never brushed your teeth? Dental care for pets is the most neglected of all pet health care. Periodontal disease is the most common disease among cats and dogs. You can help your dog by brushing their teeth daily. Don’t let bad breath stand in the way of you and your pet, give them fresh breath and pearly whites. Riverside Veterinary Hospital is offering 10% off your pet's dental cleaning and anesthesia. Please give us a call to schedule a dental cleaning for your pet today!

Valentine's Day Tip

Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it and we want to remind you that candy, especially chocolate, is dangerous for both cats and dogs along with the plastic and foil wrappers. Ask us about treats your pet can enjoy, that are also nutritious; so your pet can join the festivities.

Valentine's Day Tip

Everyone loves Chocolate and our four-legged friends are no exception.  Chocolate in all forms is dangerous to cats and dogs as are the plastic or foil wrappers when they are ingested.  We recommend that you keep plenty of pet treats on hand so that your pets can join the fun.  Also be sure to keep your pets away from any flowers you receive. They may also be dangerous to your pet if ingested.
