Frequently Asked Questions
Can my pet eat normally after tooth extractions?
Most pets adjust very well after tooth extractions and often eat more comfortably once painful teeth are removed. Soft food is usually recommended during the initial healing period, followed by a gradual return to the normal diet based on the veterinarian’s instructions.
