Obesity can lead to many health problems. Feel your pet's ribs for signs of a fat pad developing. Our clients are free to come in and weigh their pets on our scale at the office at any time. If your pet is developing a weight problem feel free to ask the staff for advise on feeding. A fat pet is not necessarily a happy one.
Dental care is often a neglected topic.
If tartar builds up on your pet's teeth it may be the cause of the bad breath you have been noticing. Dr. Fife routinely checks your pet's teeth when he gives the physical at vaccination time, but owners can check for this problem also. We do not recommend giving your pet bones of any kind to keep their teeth clean. Bones may lead to bowel damage or impactions. Dog biscuits are a good substitute for this.
