Wondering what is included in an anesthetic dental procedure? Your pet will require pre-anesthetic labs to ensure their safety while under anesthesia. During their dental procedure, full mouth radiographs are taken, and periodontal probing and charting are done for all patients. Teeth are scaled and polished. If appropriate, sealants can be applied for longer-lasting protection. If extractions are required, your pet receives specialized pain medication to aid in recovery.

Want to help that dental last longer? You can brush your pet's teeth at home, as well as use products with the VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) seal to control plaque buildup. Looking for product suggestions? Give us a call, and we can send you a list!

Winter chills may have folks reaching for space heaters to warm up areas in their homes. Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and prevent accidents with space heaters.

Look for certain features:
An overheat protection feature or an overheat shutoff feature
Tip-over protection
A GFCI plug
Certification from an independent and recognized testing agency
Front panels and vents that are small enough to prevent curious paws from getting through

All that to say, even the best built-in safety features are no substitute for supervision. Make sure to turn off space heaters when pets are unsupervised in the area. Stay safe and cozy out there!

If you are planning to travel with your cat for the holidays, please make sure their carrier is appropriate, can be safely secured in your car, and that your cat has proper identification in case you accidentally get separated.

Here are some tips from our Veterinary Partner (Powered by VIN).

At some point, you and your cat will need to travel. You may feel stressed by the idea, but with a bit of effort and planning, cats can learn to cope with the trip. Preparing your cat beforehand can make the experience less stressful for both of you.
