“Can my pet have a dental clean performed at the same time as their desexing procedure?” 🤔

Whilst we understand the temptation of combining procedures under one visit, it’s usually safest for your pet to have these procedures performed separately.

This is because dental scaling (tooth cleaning with an ultrasonic cleaner) releases aerosolised bacteria into the air, which could increase your pet’s risk of nasty post-operative infection within their abdomen or desexing wound.

For more information on safe pet dentistry and surgery, consult our knowledgeable team.

Sometimes, it's just nice to post some cuteness.

Did you know that the tiny vertical groove between a dog’s nose and upper lip actually has a purpose? It’s called the vegetal groove (or philtrum), and it’s not there by accident!

Each time a dog licks its lips, a bit of saliva collects in that groove. Through a process called capillarization, the moisture travels up to the nose — helping keep it damp.

And why does that matter? Because a moist nose is much better at capturing and holding scents from the air. 🌬️✨ That’s part of what makes a dog’s sense of smell so incredibly powerful!

Nature’s design is always so clever, isn’t it? 🐕💛
