Anesthesia-Free Teeth Cleaning is a Safe, Gentle
and Effective option for Cats and Dogs
Anesthesia-free dental cleaning for dogs and cats is a great option to keep your pet healthy without the risk of anesthesia.
With anesthesia-free dental, more frequent cleanings can be done on a routine basis in order to promote quality health for your pet.
Because the anesthesia-free dental procedure is done without the use of anesthesia or pre-anesthetic drugs, it is safer for your pet's health.
What Would Happen If I Never Cleaned My Pet’s Teeth?
Here’s what we can guarantee if your pet’s teeth were never cleaned, either with at-home care or in our office:
1. Severe gingivitis (gum disease)
2. Abscesses (a complication of tooth decay, when a painful infection develops under the gum line)
3. Rotten teeth falling out (can you imagine a tooth-rotting out of your own mouth?)
4. Horrible breath
5. Systemic health effects from periodontal disease, bacteria can enter the bloodstream, causing secondary infections that can damage your dog's heart, liver, and kidneys.
It's Not For Every Pet
While anesthesia-free dental cleaning has many advantages, not all pets are good subjects for non-anesthetic procedures.
Examples of pets who would not qualify for this procedure would be any pet who presents with severe arthritis, requires X-rays or extractions, is easily stressed, and/or cardiac and respiratory problems*. Likewise, a patient with aggressive behavior would not be a good candidate for this drug-free procedure. Sometimes, our technicians are able to calm a fearful pet enough to allow for a full cleaning. In the cases where this does not apply, the technician/veterinarian would alert the owner immediately to recommend an alternative treatment approach.
Please call to schedule your pets appointment 954-617-8724. Fee $216
A non-refundable deposit of $25 is required.
Proof of a Rabies Vaccine required
Exam done at VPAH with in the year required

Tomorrow is February 1st which means the start of Pet Dental Health Month! 🦷

Dental health is a very important part of your pets overall health. Dental problems can cause or be caused by other health problems.

➡️ In the following slides you will see an infected K9 tooth that formed a fistula (a draining track from the tooth to the nasal cavity)

Believe it or not, the pet parent and us did not see the infected tooth and fistula until we performed a routine dental cleaning and performed dental radiographs.

This is why it is so important to have your pets professional dental cleaning performed yearly!

We performed a tooth extraction with a gingival flap and this pup is feeling and looking great.

Make sure you book your pets appointment for a dental cleaning. Your pets could be suffering with periodontal disease and you do not even know. 🐶🦷🪥

"Being a veterinarian has been my dream job since I could barely speak. Over the past 13 years, I have dedicated my life to building, opening, and running Victoria Park Animal Hospital, accomplishing a life long goal of mine. It has been an amazing journey turning my passion for animals into a career. I know pets are our family and nothing brings me more joy than to help pets and their parents with wellness and healthy living. In addition to being a veterinarian, I am a wife to my amazing husband and a mommy to my greatest accomplishments and the most unbelievable joy for me, my three children." 🐾

Space is Limited!
**Offer does not apply to our Non-Anesthetic Dental***
To help keep your pets smiling bright, Victoria Park Animal Hospital is celebrating Pet Dental Health Month this February – making this the perfect time to get your furry friend on a proper dental regimen.
Dental health is a very important part of your pet’s overall health, and dental problems can cause, or be caused by, other health problems. Your pet’s teeth and gums should be checked at least twice a year by your veterinarian to check for early signs of periodontal disease and to keep your pet’s mouth healthy.
Why is dental care for my pet important?
Tartar and gingivitis are two of the most common periodontal problems seen by veterinarians. Poor dental hygiene can lead to gum disease, loss of teeth and if left untreated, could develop into more serious conditions such as bacterial infections of the heart, liver, or kidneys. In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral and dental disease by the age of three.
