We have been very happy with the level of service we receive from Pet Dental Services, a teeth cleaning service without anesthesia for cats and dogs. They are very professional and relaiable. They are friendly and knowledgeable regarding dental cleaning, and are very good with our clients. They take the time to explain the procedure and are always willing to over the dental report with the client.
Their technicians arrive once per week (4 times per month) to our clinic, bringing with them all their own equipment. they perform a full teeth cleaning with manual polishing and complete charting, which the client gets a copy of. They typically service between 80 and 100 patients per month at our facility.
The level of professional care can be seen by us as well as the clients, which keeps most of them booking repeat cleanings for their pets on a regular basis.
We would be more than happy to recommend Pet Dental Services to any veterinary clinic or animal care facility.

I have been using the non anesthetic dental cleaning treatments for approximately seven years now and they work great. They are in no way intended to take the place of deep cleaning, extractions and radiographs that are all done during anesthetic dentals. They are an excellent complement to thorough dental care. Once a deep cleaning is done with anesthesia, a follow up preventative cleaning is scheduled in 4 to 6 months to maintain the teeth in great health. Younger dogs with no major dental disease can be scheduled for non anesthetic dentals to prevent the tartar buildup and gingivitis. They are to be used as we do with people, routine dental cleanings to prevent severe dental disease. The non anesthetic dentals if started early in the life of our pets, followed up with good home care can prevent a lot of problems in the future. They are also a great alternative for the geriatric pet that has a greater risk with anesthesia. The advantage with the geriatric pet is greater if dental cleaning has already been instituted in the past when the pet was in good health.

Since we have started offering this lower cost non-anesthetic option, client compliance has begun to improve. It is a win/win situation, pets that are eligible for this non-anesthetic procedure are getting the dental care that is essential for their overall health and clients are benefiting from getting affordable preventative care. Also, some clients are extremely sensitive to placing their pet under anesthesia. It is a pleasure being able to satisfy the clients, but also give the pet the care they deserve.”

Improve Canine Dental Health from Home with 5 Easy Tips
August 27, 2012
Canine dental health is a very important part of a dog’s wellbeing. Your canine depends on their teeth so maintaining good oral hygiene is essential to keeping them healthy. It’s imperative that you take your dog to a veterinarian to get their teeth cleaned. However, there are some tips that can help you maintain your dog’s healthy teeth throughout the year and prevent problems from creeping up.
Tip 1: Brush their Teeth
Brush your dog’s teeth just as you would your own. Start by purchasing a canine toothpaste, as you cannot use human toothpaste because the levels of fluoride are too high. Allow your dog to taste the paste by putting it on your finger a few days in a row to get them acclimated to the taste. Next, use a soft bristled toothbrush or finger toothbrush designed for pets to help remove any excess food from your dog’s teeth. It is recommended that you brush your dogs teeth daily. It is important to start brushing when the dog is young and easier to train and always use positive reinforcement like treats and walks to make the daily routine more enticing.
Tip 2: Canine Oral Rinse
Another great step to ensuring your canine’s dental health is using a pet oral rinse. These pet oral rinses benefit your dog in a similar way to mouthwash for a human. The oral rinse will help fight plaque and helps to reduce inflammation caused by bacteria in the mouth. You can apply the oral rinse by putting it on a tissue and then dabbing it on your dog’s gums. The oral rinse is safe to use daily and is a great compliment to brushing although it does not replace the brushing.
Tip 3: Canine Dental Health Treats
Canine dental health treats are sold in most pet supply stores and promote healthy teeth. Canine dental health treats can help promote chewing (on the right things!), and help build strong jaw muscles and help to eliminate plaque forming bacteria. Dental dog treats come in many sizes so make sure you purchase the right size for your canine. Also, supervision is recommended to ensure your dog will chew the treats appropriately.
Tip 4: Pay Attention to What your Dog Eats
Another thing to consider is debris; dogs will eat almost anything including rocks and sharp objects. Your canine can fracture their teeth or lacerate their gums on almost anything which can cause serious dental issues. Also, debris can get stuck in between teeth and lead to ulcerations and recession of the gums. Keep trash and yard debris out of the reach of your pet to reduce the opportunity for inflammation or cuts in their mouth.
Tip 5: Stick to Dry Dog Food
Your dog’s diet not only affects their overall health, but affects canine dental health as well. Stick to nutritionally balanced dog foods. Be sure to ask your vet before making changes to your dog’s diet. Although dry dog food might not seem appealing to us, it does help remove tartar in your dog’s mouth. That means they will eat and clean their teeth at the same time. Moist foods tend to stick to your dog’s teeth and gums almost like glue thus creating a breeding ground for bacteria and should be avoided if possible. There are a variety of dog foods on the market including specialty formulated dental diets and pet foods for senior’s dogs that help promote canine dental hygiene.
