When was the last time you saw your dog or cat in the bathroom brushing their teeth? 

If your dog or cat is five years or older and has never had a teeth cleaning, it’s time to schedule a dental.  Also, if it’s been more than a year since the last cleaning, it’s time for another one.  Brushing alone will only prevent build up. Existing plaque and tarter can only be removed with a professional dental cleaning by your veterinarian.

Dog and cat dentals are just like human dental cleanings, with a couple exceptions. People don’t usually bite their dentist and we tend to listen better when told to keep our mouth open! In order to properly clean your pet’s teeth, anesthesia is needed.  The dental cleaning allows your veterinarian to remove harmful plaque and tarter from the teeth that causes bad breath and may lead to more serious problems such as gingivitis, bacterial infections in the mouth and body, tooth loss, and periodontal disease.

Dental cleanings are by appointment only. You drop your pet off in the morning and pick them up that afternoon. Please call our office to book an appointment.
