Celebrate dental month with 15% off your pet’s dental cleaning! 🐾 🦷 🪥

Did you know that a lot of dental issues in pets happen below the gum line, where we can’t see? That’s why regular dental cleanings are important to help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other health problems.

This February, we’re offering 15% off basic dental cleanings for your companion—excluding extractions.

🔹 How to book: your pet must have had an exam with your Veterinarian in the last 3 months, and the cleaning must be recommended. Preoperative bloodwork may also be required.

To schedule your appointment or ask any questions, please contact our reception team at 604-221-7771. 📞

Please call us at 604-221-7771 and we would be happy to check.

Pictured is veterinary assistant Linda’s cat Monty’s dental x-rays from April, where they found out he had FORL in one of his teeth (see arrow). 🦷

Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORLs) or 'resorptive lesions’: These are a common dental condition in cats - more than 50% of cats will develop FORL in their lifetime. Often starting at or below the gum line, this condition causes the resorption of the protective enamel, then the sensitive dentin of the teeth. Once the crown is affected, a painful pink lesion may be visible on the tooth, and the pet is at risk of bacterial infection. If left untreated, the condition will continue to spread until all the crown and root are affected, and the tooth will eventually fall out.
Currently, the cause is unknown, but possible theories include auto-immune condition, infection with calicivirus, periodontal disease, and calcium dysregulation.
We check cats at all their exams for signs of resorptive lesions, but the best way to find them is with a dental x-ray. Affected teeth are removed, and cats will be monitored carefully for signs of future lesions.

Boomer (3 year old golden retriever) being a model patient on the scale. At the start of every appointment, we weigh our patients to add to their health records. Often they are encouraged with treats, which is why it’s Boomer’s favourite part of the visit. 🐕🏅
