And while we can't verbally communicate to your furry friends that we are here to help, we have taken a huge step to show them that we are the good guys: we are proud to say that Abbey East Animal Hospital is now a Fear-Free Certified practice! Since we became Fear-Free certified, we have been incredibly pleased with the client and patient responses to our tactics for reducing fear and anxiety. If you're unfamiliar with this achievement, the Fear-Free Certification Program is a training course that helps veterinarians modify clinic procedures, handling, and facilities to help pets feel safe and comfortable while receiving the medical care they need.

Many of these deaths are the avoidable result of owners failing to spay and neuter their pets. Even if you keep a close watch on your pet, accidents happen, and unexpected offspring means more animals that won't be given the chance at full, happy lives. Spaying and neutering can help end this cycle, and both procedures can have health benefits for pets. Spaying is a common surgical procedure performed on female cats and dogs.

As you can imagine, things would eventually start to go very, very bad inside your mouth: teeth would rot and decay, gums would become inflamed and infected. Bacteria from those rotting teeth would eventually travel into your bloodstream and could cause other serious health problems. And we haven't even mentioned the daily, debilitating pain. It's the same scenario for your dog or cat. While some people might laugh at the idea of brushing their pet's teeth or taking them for a dental cleaning, the fact is that by age three, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have some evidence of periodontal disease.
