After his dental cleaning, Tito decided Vanessa’s arms were the perfect recovery spot.

Regular dental exams and cleanings are an important part of your pet’s overall wellness. They help catch early signs of dental disease, one of the most common (and preventable!) issues in dogs and cats.

Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that can cause pain, bad breath, and infection. They also protect against serious health problems, since bacteria from the mouth can travel through the bloodstream and affect the heart, liver, and kidneys.

A healthy mouth means a happier, healthier pet, inside and out!

It was a big day for Apollo!

He visited Dr. Garvin and our team for his neuter, a procedure that comes with big benefits, like helping prevent certain cancers, reducing roaming, and supporting calmer behavior.

But just as important as the procedure itself is how we care for your pet along the way. From gentle handling and warm snuggles to safe anesthesia and careful monitoring, we make sure every patient feels calm, comforted, and loved every step of the way.

Because great medicine starts with compassion.

🐾 Every clinic has a star — and at Willow Rock, it’s Jelly Bean 💚

Willow Rock’s clinic cat with a BIG personality and an inspiring weight loss journey!

Dr. Garvin shares why keeping cats at a healthy weight is just as important as it is for dogs.

Maintaining a healthy weight helps reduce the risk of diabetes, arthritis, and other health issues, giving our feline friends more years of play, cuddles, and love. 🐱✨

👉 Ask us how to help your cat achieve (and maintain!) their healthiest life.

During her eye recheck, Dr. Garvin and the team spent some quality time with Little Girl.

Cats are masters at hiding how they feel, which is why those regular wellness visits mean so much. Even small changes like squinting, pawing at the face, or acting a little quieter than usual can be their way of saying something’s off.

These visits give our team a chance to catch up on their overall health, bond with your cat, and make sure every cat leaves feeling their best.

Cricket was bundled up and cozy after her dental procedure today! We think she looks like the cutest little burrito. 🌯

Dental care is so much more than fresh breath.

➡️ Dental disease is the most common health condition in pets: affecting over 70% of cats and 80% of dogs by age 3.
➡️ Without care, plaque and tartar build up, leading to painful gums, loose teeth, and bacteria that can travel to the heart, liver, and kidneys.

So, how do dental cleanings help?
✔️ They remove plaque and tartar you can’t see or brush away at home.
✔️ They stop hidden pain before it becomes severe.
✔️ They protect your pet’s whole-body health, not just their smile.

At Willow Rock, we take every precaution to keep pets safe and comfortable during dental procedures. From advanced anesthesia monitoring to cozy recoveries (just like Cricket’s!), your pet’s well-being is always our top priority.

Boomer’s in the room-er!! This sweet boy came to see us so our doctors could check out a cyst.

Just like Boomer’s family did, give us a call if you notice anything new on your pet’s skin. A quick visit can give you peace of mind and help keep your best friend feeling their best.
