💊 Medications: Human medications like ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and even some supplements can be toxic to pets.
🌿 Plants: Lilies, sago palms, and azaleas are just a few plants that can be dangerous if ingested.
🧼 Household Products: Cleaning supplies, antifreeze, and certain essential oils can pose serious risks.
🐾 What to Do: If you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, contact your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center immediately.

Maintaining your pet’s dental health doesn’t stop at their cleaning appointment! 🐾 Between visits, there are several ways you can keep their teeth in tip-top shape:
🦷 Regular Brushing – Use a pet-specific toothbrush and toothpaste to brush your pet’s teeth and remove plaque.
🦴 Dental Chews & Toys – Special chews and toys can help scrape away plaque and keep your pet entertained!
💧 Food & Water Additives – These products help prevent plaque buildup, keeping their mouths fresh.
🥣 Special Diets – Some foods are designed to support dental health and help clean teeth while they chew!
We carry many of these helpful products both in our online pharmacy and in-house. If you’re unsure about what to choose, we’re more than happy to offer product recommendations or give demonstrations! If you're shopping on your own, look for products endorsed by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) for the best quality.

🦷 Do you know what to expect during a veterinary dental cleaning? Keep reading to learn all about it!

During their regular exam, we always try to take a look at (and get a whiff!) of what is going on inside their mouth. Based on age, breed, mouth odor, and what we observe, we may recommend a thorough oral exam and cleaning. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork might be suggested to ensure your pet is healthy for the procedure.
On the big day, we’ll begin with a quick exam before anesthesia. Once they’re under, we’ll take detailed dental x-rays to assess the gums and jaw structure. Next, we'll remove tartar and plaque, clean beneath the gums, and examine each tooth for signs of infection or disease. We’ll finish by scaling and polishing the teeth and may apply fluoride or sealants as needed.
If extractions are necessary, we may prescribe antibiotics or pain medications for a smooth recovery. Afterward, it’s a great time to start brushing your pet’s teeth at home. We’re here to help with demonstrations, product recommendations, and aftercare advice!
Schedule a dental check-up for your pet today! 🦷
