Dental Care

Dogs, Cats, even bunnys and farm animals need regular dental care just as much as people do. Your local veterinarian traditionally is the best place to have this done. However, for older animals, or for those that make a horror show of going to the Veterinarian, Drug-Free teeth cleaning is the best way to go.
In most large cities you can easily find a professional service for this. I do drug free teeth cleanings in my home for all animals.
It is important that you find someone who is gentle and patient for this procedure. The only way to be absolutely positive that your pet will be treated right is to sit in on the first session. If they will not allow you to stay, then take your pet and go! 


Cost varies locally and depends on a few factors. What kind of animal it is, it's size and temperment, the time it takes to perform the procedure, and the condition of the teeth.
Hidden dental health problems and other health problems can be uncovered during the process, so there should be some plan to get immediate veterinary care if your pet needs it that day. Most professionals will have you sign a waiver of responsibility, and provide your regular Veterinarians name and number.
Unless the person you choose is an actual Veterinarian, they cannot pull teeth, or perform other dental surgeries, they cannot perscribe antibiotics or pain medication either. If you believe that your pet is experiencing pain in the mouth, consult your Veterinarian before allowing anyone to attempt dental cleaning. If your pet is sensitive to pain, it may be a good idea to get pain medication before dental cleaning, so it is on hand if needed.
