Routine dental cleanings are available Tuesdays by appointment, with patients typically discharged within hours. Services address periodontal health, tooth extractions, and oral diagnostics. Pricing varies by pet size and age, with written estimates provided during pre-dental exams.

We issue USDA health certificates for international and interstate pet travel. Services include documentation compliance for airlines and Florida law requirements. Staff assist with country-specific regulations and provide necessary paperwork for both sale transactions and travel purposes.
