dental cleaning
anesthesia-free dental & vaccine clinic
bark! bark! offers dog dental care through Qualified Pet Dental. Qualified Pet Dental Clinics are mobile veterinary practices that focus on preventive dental care. They offer safe and effective non-anesthetic dental cleaning that requires both a highly skilled hygienist and the expertise of a licensed veterinarian with significant dental knowledge.
The Qualified Standard is a preventive dental cleaning for dogs and cats that represents the pinnacle of non-anesthetic technique. Developed in cooperation with multiple dental-focused veterinarians, this technique is now practiced in over 500 animal hospitals. The result is a complete dental cleaning of all tooth surfaces, including below-the-gumline, that is both safe and effective for 90% of dogs.
Small dogs are particularly prone to dental/gum disease.
why should i have my dog’s teeth cleaned?
Dog dental care is extremely important. Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most common conditions seen in pets today.
The problem begins when plaque and tartar build-up on your pet's teeth. Plaque harbors bacteria, which can infect gum tissue and the roots of teeth resulting in disease and tooth loss.
what’s the procedure like?
The next step is fully cleaning the teeth above and below the gum line, providing truly preventive dog dental care. They finish up with a polish of the teeth using fluoride-based pumice.
When the treatment is complete, the doctor will return your pet and explain anything out of the ordinary that was identified during the exam.
Each bark! bark! dental treatment starts with a full physical exam. The doctor will assess your dog’s overall health and temperament and chart any concerns regarding your dog's oral health.
During their training, Qualified Pet Dental hygienists learn and perfect animal calming techniques. This grants them the ability to put a nervous dog at ease within minutes and to keep it that way throughout the treatment.
They also practice specially-developed holding techniques that secure the animal without pain, allowing safe access to the teeth and gums.
what if my dog is nervous?
Pet comfort is a requirement of effective treatment. Like many humans, dogs can get a little anxious when the dental equipment comes out. The good news is that Qualified Pet Dental hygienists have mastered animal calming techniques.
