Anesthesia Free Dentals

 

 Were you aware that pets with dental disease swallow particles of bacteria each time they chew, which in turn can lead to heart and kidney disease?

 

There has been much publicity lately about non professionals such as groomers and human dental hygienist performing teeth cleaning procedures on dogs and cats without anesthesia.  The concern is that these people are often not properly trained, nor have the capability to prescribe medications as might be needed to truly treat dental disease.

East West Vet dental cleanings are performed by a licensed veterinarian so you can be assured the procedure is SAFE, THOROUGH, and PAIN-FREE.   Dentals are done in  the comfort of your home without general anesthesia.   However, in some cases we will give the patient a light sedative in order to ensure good access to all the teeth in the mouth, to decrease their anxiety and ensuring a more complete cleaning.  We can also prescribe antibiotics if needed.  This procedure is not for every pet, such as those with severe dental disease or that might need multiple extractions.  But for most animals with a mild amount of tartar, this is an excellent choice to improve the pet’s health and breath, without the risks and complications of general anesthesia.  It’s great for cats and older dogs. At your pets next wellness exam ask if anesthesia free dental cleaning is an option for your pet.

Bereavement: When it’s time to say good bye

It is never easy to lose a good friend.  Pets hold a special place in our hearts, often being considered family members for the unconditional love and companionship they selflessly provide.  Animals share our lives in such intricate ways, and when they are gone it leaves a void in our daily routine.  Sometimes it can be difficult to get the support of friends and family without pets who may not fully understand the deep emotional bond we have with our animals and how profound the loss can be.

Fortunately we not only understand how much your animal means to you, but also we can be there right in your home to gently help with your pets passing when the time is right.  Although it is never easy, there is some comfort in knowing that your pet does not have to face one last car trip and spend his or her final moments in the sterile, stressful environment of a hospital.  They can be at home, in familiar surroundings, embraced by the whole family, in intimacy and privacy.  We know how hard it is to face this decision, and will be there to support you in not only making the decision, but also when the time comes.

 

We encourage anyone who has recently lost a pet and is struggling with their grief to seek help, there are several places to turn in your time of need, including:
