Dental health
The quiet signs of dental discomfort
What changes in appetite, play and grooming can tell you about oral health.

Small habits make visits easier
Leave the carrier out between appointments, pair it with treats and bring a familiar towel. For dogs, a short decompression walk before arrival can help lower arousal.
Tell the care team about previous fears before the visit. A quieter arrival time, room-ready check-in or pre-visit medication may be appropriate.
