    August is dental discount month at the S.P.A. clinic. Improve your pet’s dental health (by removing plaque and tartar) and overall health, quality of life, and general well-being by having your dog’s or cat’s teeth cleaned. S.P.A. residents Tigre, Tessie, and Vanderbilt recently had their teeth cleaned at the S.P.A.’s veterinary clinic. During August, our normal price of 700-1,000 pesos for teeth cleaning (cats and dogs) has been reduced by 20% (includes anesthetic and professional cleaning with ultrasonic scaler/polisher). Take advantage of this very popular special offer by calling 415 152 6124 for an appointment today! Space is limited!

    Not only is dental care vitally important to your pet’s teeth and gums, but proper dental care contributes to a longer life, something that I’m sure is near and dear to your hearts. Periodontal disease, an inflammation of a tooth’s deep supporting structures, causes the build-up of plaque on the teeth. It is the most common ailment affecting cats and dogs and is preventable. According to the American Veterinary Dental College, periodontal disease may cause problems in the mouth and teeth and can also “be associated with damage to internal organs in some patients as they age.” It is often not treated until it is too late and has already done extensive damage.

    Your pet can’t tell you about teeth pain and will instinctively hide illness or weakness. It is up to you to be vigilant. Here are the signs to look for that indicate oral or dental disease:

    ♦  Bad breath
    ♦  Loose teeth
    ♦  Discolored teeth, yellowed from tartar
    ♦  Chewing from only one side
    ♦  Drooling or pawing at the mouth
    ♦  Avoiding your contact with their face
    ♦  Loss of appetite or weight

    Please bring your beloved cats and dogs to the S.P.A. clinic for all their veterinary care.  We have a terrific, well-equipped, on-site clinic with a wonderful vet, Dr. Omar  Córdova. The S.P.A. can provide routine care for your pet (general check-up and  vaccinations) and meet all your pet’s needs, including diagnosing and treating medical  issues, taking x-rays as necessary, performing sterilizations and other surgeries, and  providing emergency care. To avoid having a long wait, it is best to call for an  appointment (415 152 6124). Our address is Los Pinos 7 and the clinic is open Monday-Saturday, 9-3pm, with extended hours on Tuesdays and Saturdays until 4pm. Tuesdays and Saturdays are discount days! Consultations and most vaccinations are reduced on those days.Our Pet Food Money Bank fundraiser is continuing. We need your help!! We still have not reached our goal of $250,000 pesos (about $13,500 USD), all of which will apply to the annual cost of feeding our animals. The matching donations offer has generously been extended through August 31 since we have not met the match. For more details including how to donate, please see https://www.spasanmiguel.org/pet-food-money-bank To donate by credit card through PayPal (the only way to use a credit card), click the “DONATE” button on that page.
