Dental Care
At PacificPaws, we are committed to offering the best routine & emergent dental care services for pets
We use only the best dentistry equipment, so you can rest assured that your animal’s oral health is in great hands! By the age of three, it is expected that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats will suffer from significant oral disease.
Pets, like humans, frequently require tooth cleaning to remove plaque and calculus or oral surgery to extract damaged teeth. Much of the plaque in the mouth is hidden beneath the gum line.

The Benefits for Your Beloved Pet
- Preventative Healthcare: Regular veterinary check-ups allow for the early detection of potential health issues. Vaccinations, parasite control, and dental care provided during routine visits help prevent diseases and infections, saving both money and anguish in the long run.
- Behavioral Support: Consistent care and training sessions contribute to a well-behaved and socially adjusted pet. Regular exercise and mental stimulation provided through routine activities enhance their overall well-being, reducing the risk of behavioral problems such as anxiety or aggression.
- Bonding and Socialization: Routine care activities, such as grooming, feeding, and playtime, foster a strong bond between pets and their owners. Regular socialization with other animals and humans also helps pets develop positive relationships and confidence in various environments.
- Early Intervention for Health Issues: Regular grooming sessions provide an opportunity to examine your pet's skin, coat, ears, and nails for any signs of abnormalities or health concerns. Detecting issues early allows for prompt treatment, improving the chances of successful recovery and minimizing discomfort for the pet.
- Longevity and Quality of Life: A consistent routine that includes proper nutrition, exercise, mental stimulation, and healthcare significantly contributes to a pet's longevity and overall quality of life. Regular care ensures that pets remain physically fit, mentally stimulated, and emotionally content, leading to a happier and healthier life.
