DOG DENTAL CARE

What’s the difference between an anesthesia-free teeth cleaning and a veterinary cleaning done under anesthesia?

There actually is a big difference! Even though the veterinary option is called a “teeth cleaning” they actually do a lot more when done properly. Not only do they clean, but also they can diagnose and treat diseases and infections and can clean into deep pockets. They may do x-rays and measure pockets as well as part of their diagnoses process. These are all things that we cannot do when the dog is awake and/or do without a veterinarian present. We can look for abnormalities in the mouth but would not know if they were actually a problem. If we see any, these would be the times when we will refer dogs back to their vets. Because we are not veterinarians we cannot provide any type of diagnoses or treatment of disease as that would begin to tread in veterinary medicine and would be against the law. We provide a hygienic service to keep your dogs mouth cleaner.

Education

All K9 Gentle Dental practitioners are recruited for their experience of working with dogs and are certified in Pet First Aid through Walks n’ Wags. In an effort to offer the best possible service, we obtained our initial training from the only state-accredited, academically recognized training program taught by a veterinarian specializing in this particular field. After completing this 40+ hour training program in Denver, Colorado, we developed our own extensive in-house K9 Gentle Dental training program.

“I can’t say enough great things about this place! Every single time we have to bring our two boys Bowser and Remus down they have an absolutely amazing time and the photos we get are so beyond appreciated! Being able to also see them through the Instagram also gives my partner and I so much joy. Every member of the staff is amazing and they treat our two guys with so much care. Especially Remus he’s such a shy guy but seeing how he’s opened up with you all brings me so much joy.”

“I just brought our Corgi, Gus home from getting groomed at Central Bark and it was such a great experience from beginning to end! Becca was SO AMAZING with Gus and she did such a great job grooming him and giving him that sweet little peach butt. Gus was so happy when I picked him up. It was his first ever grooming experience and I would not hesitate to take him back again and again. Thank-you so much for taking such good care of our dog and for the wonderful service! We will be back!”
