Ever wondered what dental looks like for your dog? 🪥

Rhonda is a 6yr old Standard Poodle who came in today for a dental procedure.

This is done under a general anaesthetic.
Rhonda had an initial pre-anaesthetic health check with Dr. Banjo and Nurse Leiha and a pre-anaesthetic blood test to make sure it was safe to proceed with a general anaesthetic.

Once everything was clear, dental x-rays were done to check for any abnormalities that could be causing teeth to be diseased and therefore requiring extractions.

This was followed by teeth having deposits of calculus cracked off, followed by an ultrasonic scaler to clean off the residual bacteria on the surface of the teeth below the gum lines.

Then a special toothpaste is applied to remove any small abrasions caused by the scaler.

Her owner did the right thing by booking Rhonda in for a dental. If her dental disease progressed, it could have lead to tooth extractions and a more complicated dental procedure.

Rhonda is a member of our best mates program so her owner didn't have to pay for today's dental 🐶

Meet Phelpsy 👋

During a recent routine visit for arthritis injections in Echuca, his owner mentioned a concerning lump on Phelpsy’s belly. It was determined that the lump needed to be removed, so this was booked in and taken care of. As Phelpsy was a Best Mates Member, the team decided to perform a dental scale & polish at the same time to help take care of his teeth as it was included in his membership 🦷

Result? The lump was removed, ensuring Phelpsy’s health, and his smile is now gleaming thanks to the dental. Phelpsy’s membership saved him $967 on the day, and this year alone, he’s saved over $1400. Providing comprehensive care while saving you money – that’s the Best Mates way! 🐾
