Dental Cleaning and Care

What is an annual dental cleaning and why does my pet need this?

An annual dental cleaning is very similar to what you would experience at the dentist; it includes scaling and polishing of the teeth by a technician and any extractions that are necessary.

Infection in the mouth (usually noticed by the owner because of bad breath)

can lead to serious infections in other parts of the body,

such as the liver, kidney, heart or lungs.

Prophylactic Teeth Cleaning

What can I bring my pet?

We supply bedding and food (Science Diet Sensitive Stomach dry food) for your pet however we encourage you to bring your pet's favorite items and food if they are on a special diet.

Wondering where we keep our cat friends?
We have a designated cat room that is calm and quiet away from our noisy dog friends, complete with our permanent resident Mister Norris.
