As dental disease progresses, the treatment becomes more involved, meaning longer and more elaborate (and more costly) dental procedures.

There has been a lot of focus in the news recently about human obesity; it is an epidemic and the statistics on canine obesity are just as over whelming. Roughly 40% of the 41.2 million dogs in the United States, or approximately 16 million, are overweight or obese. A study by Pfizer Animal Health found veterinarians consider 47% of their patients overweight or obese but only 17% of dog owners think their dog is overweight.
These numbers have motivated Breton Veterinary Hospital to organize a weight loss campaign! Bring your pets in today for a free weigh in and a body condition score and discuss a weight loss plan with our friendly and caring staff.
