The Ventura County District Attorneys conviction of this unlicensed veterinary medical procedure marks a turning point in local law enforcement’s tolerance of illegal anesthetic free dental service providers in San Diego County and throughout California.
“The services provided by Pet Dental Services have proven to be invaluable to our practice. Our clients appreciate the safety and convenience that non-anesthetic dentistry provides to their pets. Pet Dental Service’s staff is incredibly kind and patient with the pets in their care. Even some of our fearful patients are able to benefit from a full dental cleaning due to the gentle care provided by the PDS staff.”

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.

“The researchers were able to identify all areas of pathology, and confirmed their findings with radiography. Therefore, their research supports the conclusion that a probing and cleaning can be done without general anesthesia.”
Patrick Hardigan Ph. D.
“I have been using Pet Dental Services for the past 3 years. Not only is the staff courteous and professional, but the extent of the work being done is superlative. 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.”
