Keep Your Pet’s Smile Going Strong

Oral health plays a crucial role in your pet’s overall comfort and longevity. Dental disease is one of the most common, yet most preventable, conditions in adult dogs and cats. It causes gum inflammation, chronic pain, and even infections that can spread to the heart, liver, or kidneys.

To keep your pet’s smile healthy and pain-free, At Home Animal Clinic offers comprehensive veterinary dental services in Stillwater, MN, including routine cleanings, digital X-rays, and minor oral surgery. Regular dental exams are one of the best things you can do for your pet’s health. Give us a call at (651) 351-7387 to schedule a dental checkup today.
