Dental disease is one of the most common and most overlooked health issues in pets. One of our chief goals at VDS is to educate clients and other veterinarians to further understanding and improve the level of care in veterinary dentistry.

Our team focuses on diagnosing and treating oral pain that pets cannot tell us about, using advanced imaging, anesthesia, and specialty-level care. Check out common conditions, treatments, and our locations at vdspets.com to learn more, because a healthy mouth supports a healthier, happier life.

Some stories stay with us forever. 🤍

In 2021, Glut was treated at during a critical time for his health. His family was facing a great deal of uncertainty, and his case required advanced care and careful clinical decision-making.

Today, Glut is doing well and continues to enjoy a good quality of life at home. He remains an active and much-loved part of his family, and his ongoing well-being is a meaningful reminder of the impact that timely, specialized veterinary care can have.

We appreciate it when clients take the time to share updates like this. Follow-up stories help reinforce why thorough diagnostics, appropriate treatment, and collaborative care are so important for long-term outcomes.

Wishing our patients, clients, and referring partners a healthy and peaceful holiday season. 😺 🐶 ✨

📸 : Thank you to his owner for sharing his story and Glut's photos!
