K9 GRILLZ

Non-anesthetic dental cleaning provided by the only veterinarian owned and operated company in South I very much look forward to hearing from you.

rformed under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. Understanding the importance of the service and the absolute lack of a veterinary run dental service, Dr. Christopher Thomas set off to open a cutting edge anesthesia free pet dental service. Opened in 2013 K9 GRILLZ puts your pets health, safety, and comfort at the forefront of our philosophy. With a team of amazing hygienists with a combined experience of over 25 years, our knowledge base and our dedication is second to none. Our goal is to keep your pets in good health, and that starts with a happy, healthy mouth. Map of locations:

FOR VETERINARY/DAYCARE/BOARDING/TRAINING FACILITY OWNERS:

Recently, the California Veterinary Medical Board mandated that any and all Non-anesthetic Dental (NAD) cleaning be done strictly under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian following a complete physical examination (visit this page to see the code - http://www.vmb.ca.gov/laws_regs/dental.shtml). Therefore, if any individual or company is performing or hosting any sort of anesthesia free dental cleaning without veterinary supervision, they are in direct violation of the law and are subject to severe financial and/or operational penalty. K9 Grillz is here to fill that void and provide you, your clients, and your clients’ beloved pets with an economical, low-risk alternative to higher risk and considerably higher cost anesthetic dentistry. Our service is professional, thorough, performed by highly experienced veterinary hygienists and incorporates a multistep cleaning process. Briefly put, the process includes periodontal disease identification and staging, hand instrument examination, ultrasonic cleaning (above and below the gum line and on all exposed surfaces of all teeth), and mechanical polishing. Any abnormalities found are immediately reported to the attending veterinarian. In the event the veterinarian finds any reason that may warrant in-hospital medical attention, the cleaning is halted and the client is then contacted by the veterinarian to discuss options. In either case, our hygienists meticulously chart each cleaning on a standard dental chart. A copy of this chart is sent home with the client after every cleaning and can then be forwarded on to their regular veterinarian for input in the animal’s medical record or used as a guide for an anesthetic dental. Beyond our professional dental cleaning, our service is unique to daycare/boarding facilities in that every animal receives a complete physical exam by a licensed veterinarian. During that exam not only can periodontal disease be identified, but also cardiac disease, lymphatic disease, skin disease, orthopedic disease, etc. – all of which can be limiting factors to an animal’s candidacy for a NAD. In addition, having a doctor on hand allows for the immediate dispensing of antibiotics. Prophylactic antibiotics are sometimes indicated for animals that have moderate to severe periodontal disease with gingivitis or most animals with a heart murmur. What we strive to offer at K9 Grillz is the best legal care available in Anesthesia Free Dental prophylaxis. As you know, people want the best for their animals and that is why they entrust their veteirnary/boarding/grooming needs to you. Bringing our company into your facility for monthly or bi-monthly dental days will only enhance your image as an excellent service provider.

***On a side note, down the line we are also considering offering vaccination clinic days in case that would be of benefit to your business. I would love to have the opportunity to sit down with you to explain the process more completely and answer any of your questions. Please feel free to call or email me to set up a time for discussion. Dr. Christopher Thomas, DVM

It is National Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week! If you don’t know them by name yet, please meet Robby and Sharon. Robby and Sharon are the true backbone of K9 Grillz. Robby has been with us for over 7 years and is a master hygienist. Unknown fact about Robby - he was signed to be a pitcher in the major leagues! Sharon has been with us approaching a year and is quickly becoming a top level hygienist. Unknown fact about Sharon - she has a long and diverse background in various veterinary specialties and most recently prior to us, she was working as a primary tech in an exotics speciality clinic. Sharon has been an incredibly strong addition to our field team. Their love for animals is incredibly pure and shows in their dedication and attention to the details of their job. We couldn’t and wouldn’t be who we are without you. Thank you both for all that you do for the animals, our clients, and for K9 Grillz! You are truly and deeply appreciated!

Would you bring your Mercedes to a lawnmower repair man? Of course not. That is why it is just as important to bring you pets to a veterinarian for dental maintenance.

Standardized Tier 1 Veterinarian Supervised Non-Anesthetic Dentistry is the only proper way forward. After you watch this video, check out our last post for our philosophy on the way forward for non-anesthetic dentistry.

13/04/2022

This video is intended as both a consumer awareness message and a message for our veterinarian colleagues.

To our colleagues, as you know in the state of California veterinarian supervised non-anesthetic dental cleaning is legal and is considered to be a medical procedure by the California Veterinary Medical Board that must only be performed under direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian. We need to work together to properly address and prevent preventable dental disease with an affordable, safe, and standardized method of TIER 1 Veterinarian Supervised Non-Anesthetic Dental Cleanings AND anesthetic dentistry when necessary.

Our approach to veterinary dentistry must mimic human preventative dental care. Start young, stay consistent with brushings and cleanings, utilize anesthesia whenever problems arise that warrant it and perform periodic radiographic surveillance every 3-5 years (*individual patients needs may vary). Help us to adopt this tier system and let’s work to get reliable services in place that work uniformly under a standardized system.

To our California clients please report all Tier 3 operations to the California Veterinary Medical Board.

1 oz. of prevention = 1 pound of cure

Preventative Veterinary Dental Care

Healthy mouths help keep our pets at their happiest. Chronic periodontal disease can be very painful, lead to expensive anesthetic procedures for extractions under general anesthesia, and lead to systemic disease that can potentially shorten our fur babies lives. So many animals are suffering in silence from advanced dental disease. That’s why it is so important to regularly brush your pets teeth and visually inspect their oral condition. It’s all about prevention. All the rules that apply to your mouth, please, apply them to your pets mouth too.

Schedule routine exams and cleanings with us now! Schedule in bio!

Happy New Year everyone!

We’ve been getting a lot of feedback from you, our clients, about how busy your regular veterinarian has been. This has forced many of you to switch up your service provider. Just wanted to pass this on to you all to help give some insight as to what our colleagues have been going through while we all endure this pandemic.

Let’s all give each other a pat on the back for getting this far through it. Collectively we will eventually get past it and life WILL return to normal. In the meantime, let’s focus on being kind to one another and let’s try to understand that this pandemic is effecting us all in different ways.

Cheers to 2022. Let’s end this pandemic together! We wish you nothing but the best in the coming year!

We immaculately maintain the cleanliness of our vehicles inside and out.

We insure the interior environment is calm, comfortable, and secure.

Our staff is always professional yet we pledge to treat each and every one of our patients as if they were our own. That means your fur baby should expect hugs, head kisses and belly scratches every time. . . . . . .

K9 Grillz is a Tier 1 Preventative Veterinary Dental Provider. That means our program was developed by and is owned/operated by a licensed veterinarian.

For both dogs and cats!
