Questions
How often should my pet have an exam?
Annual exams are recommended for most pets, with senior pets needing biannual visits. Puppies and kittens require more frequent check-ups during their first year.
Why does my pet need a dental cleaning?
Dental cleanings prevent bad breath, reduce disease risks, and maintain oral health. Untreated dental issues can lead to heart, liver, and kidney problems in pets.
What happens during a dental cleaning?
Cleanings are performed under anesthesia for thoroughness. They include plaque removal, gum checks, and X-rays if needed. Your pet is monitored to ensure safety throughout the procedure.
Should I spay or neuter my pet?
We recommend spaying/neutering at six months. These procedures offer health and behavioral benefits while helping control pet overpopulation.
What are heartworms and how can I prevent them?
Heartworms are parasites transmitted by mosquitoes. We offer preventatives for dogs and cats, as treatment is costly and complex, especially for cats.
