What’s in our dental kits??
Anesthetic dental cleanings are recommended once a year. However, some pets may need more frequent cleanings, especially if they are prone to dental disease or have conditions like gum disease or tartar buildup. 🦷
Daily brushing or at least a few times a week can help prevent plaque buildup and reduce the need for professional cleanings. Dental chews, toys, and water additives can also support oral health. 🪥

Jo and Nicole here to tell you the difference between a tech appointment and a doctors appointment 🩷
a technician appointment typically involves services that can be performed by a veterinary technician, such as routine procedures like vaccinations, nail trims, or blood draws. These appointments may not require a veterinarian’s presence.
A doctor’s appointment, on the other hand, is for situations that require a veterinarian’s expertise, such as diagnosing health issues, discussing treatment plans, or performing surgeries. In general, if a pet needs an evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment that requires a vet’s medical judgment, a doctor’s appointment is necessary.

Monitoring Health Changes: Vets can track your pet’s weight, dental health, and overall condition, making adjustments to their care as needed.
Parasite Control: Routine checks help manage parasites like fleas, ticks, and worms, which can impact your pet’s health.
Nutrition and Lifestyle Guidance: Vets can provide tailored advice on diet, exercise, and behavior, promoting a healthy lifestyle for your pet.
Overall, yearly exams are essential for maintaining your pet’s health and well-being.
