While it is generally not recommended to combine a ‘clean’ surgery, such as a lump removal, with a ‘dirty’ surgery, such as a dental, every situation varies.

Dentals can spread bacteria in the air and increase bacteria circulating in the blood, which is generally not conducive to a sterile surgery.

Ultimately, combining procedures depends on your pet and your vet’s advice. Have a chat with us to find out what’s best for your pet. 🩺 🐈

Daily brushing is the gold standard for your dog’s dental health. This is because conditions like plaque take less than 24 hours to begin forming. Brushing your dog’s teeth helps prevent this from progressing. 🪥🐶

When you start brushing your dog’s teeth at home, use pet-safe toothpaste and a soft human or dog toothbrush. Start slow, reward calm behaviour, and make it a positive routine.

Problems such as overcrowded teeth and misaligned jaws can lead to earlier dental problems. August is Pet Dental Month at

A pink or red tooth in cats may indicate Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORL). This painful condition causes the tooth to break down, and results in difficulty eating, pain and distress.

Cat’s teeth should normally be white, whole and not chipped or broken, and the gums not raised or inflamed. 😸

If you notice one of your cat’s teeth is no longer white, book a dental check for your cat right away.

Cats can face dental emergencies at any stage in their life, such as broken teeth, abscesses, or severe gum inflammation due to a viral infection. Look for drooling, pawing at the mouth, lethargy or refusing food. 🐱🦷

Prompt vet care can prevent more pain or complications, so it’s important to contact us straight away if you notice these signs.
