Once you adopt one of these amazing pets from the shelter, you will need to get his/her teeth cleaned. Did you know that there are non-anesthetic veterinary dental services that specialize in preventative dental care for pets! For almost 20 years, Houndstooth has offered thorough dental cleanings without the use of anesthetics for dogs and cats as an alternative to anesthetic-based cleanings. It’s a safe way to provide our pets (seniors, those with health conditions and guardians who want to avoid the risk of anesthesia) an affordable, comfortable and effective alternative. Visit www.houndstoothdental.com for more information.
