Keep their smile healthy! Vetter Pet Care provides gentle, professional dental care for dogs and cats.
Healthy Smiles, Healthy Lives
Good oral health is essential for your pet’s overall well-being. At Vetter Pet Care, we provide comprehensive dental care — from routine cleanings to advanced procedures — all performed with your pet’s comfort and safety at the forefront. Our calm, gentle approach helps reduce stress and ensures your pet receives the thoughtful care they deserve. A healthy mouth doesn’t just mean fresh breath. It means a longer, happier life.
Why Dental Care Matters
Untreated dental disease can lead to pain, infection, tooth loss, and even impact vital organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular dental exams and professional cleanings help prevent these issues and keep your pet feeling their best.
What’s Included in a Professional Dental Cleaning
Every dental procedure at Vetter Pet Care includes:
- Anesthesia to keep your pet comfortable and still
- Ultrasonic scaling above and below the gumline
- Polishing to smooth enamel and reduce future buildup
- A full oral exam to check for fractures, decay, or infection
- Digital dental X-rays to identify problems hidden beneath the surface
- Extractions, when necessary, are performed with care and pain management
We use a combination of advanced dental tools and compassionate handling to ensure a safe, thorough cleaning.
Are Dental X-Rays Important?
Absolutely. Many dental issues aren’t visible during an exam alone. X-rays help us detect disease below the gumline and make informed decisions about treatment — preventing long-term pain and complications.
Do You Offer Anesthesia-Free Cleanings?
No. These procedures are unsafe and ineffective because they do not clean beneath the gumline, where most disease begins. True dental care requires anesthesia to be thorough, safe, and pain-free
After Your Pet’s Dental Procedure
We’ll provide personalized home-care instructions after every dental treatment. To maintain results, we recommend:
- Regular brushing
- Dental chews and rinses
- Routine dental exams
- Repeat cleanings based on your pet’s needs
Our team will help you choose the right at-home options for your pet.
How Often Does My Pet Need a Cleaning?
The ideal frequency depends on breed, age, and home-care routine:
- Many dogs and cats: every year
- Pets with recurring dental issues: as recommended by your veterinarian
We’ll tailor a plan to help protect your pet’s smile for years to come.
