Meet Blaze! This lovely 12 year old senior was pictured here just moments after his dental procedure. Oral care is so important for our senior pets. We know how damaging chronic inflammation can be in the body. Regular dental cleanings under anesthesia where X-rays of the teeth and cleaning above and below the gumline is so important for their ongoing comfort. A good pre-op physical exam, labwork and sometimes chest X-rays helps us to determine if they are good candidate for anesthesia so their caregivers can make an informed decision. Often at their post-dental check up I hear how they are like a puppy again!

Trimming our senior dogs’ feet hair helps to increase their contact surface of their paw pads with the ground. This helps them to get a better footing and lessen risks of slipping and falling. 🙌

We love lick mats and dogs do too! Here is Kane enjoying some kong spray while getting his nails done.

Our patient of the week this week is Boston! Here he is showing off his dancing skills at his 1 week post-dental check up. What a rock star!

Yes, ticks are out!
