🦷✨ A healthy mouth means a happier pet! ✨🦷

Did you know that dental disease can be uncomfortable for our pets, even when they’re still eating, playing and acting like their usual selves? 🐶🐱

Just like us, our pets need dental care too! Regular dental checks help us identify problems early and keep those pearly whites in tip-top condition. 🪥✨

At Kingston Veterinary Group we offer professional dental procedures to help keep your furry friends’ mouths healthy and comfortable.

🦷 What does a dental procedure involve?

Our dental procedures are carried out in two stages, depending on your pet’s individual needs:

✨ Stage One: Dental assessment, scale & polish — £239 for PHC Plus clients

This includes:
🐾 Dental X-rays
🐾 Intravenous fluids
🐾 Scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar
🐾 Dental charting to assess and record the health of the teeth and gums

🦷 Stage Two: Dental extractions

If any teeth are found to be damaged, diseased or otherwise unsuitable to remain in the mouth, extractions may be recommended following your pets stage 1 procedure!

Every pet is different, and the need for extractions will depend on their individual dental findings.

💗 Why is dental care so important?

Dental disease can progress without obvious signs, and pets can be very good at hiding discomfort. Professional dental care helps us assess their oral health, identify problems and recommend the treatment they need to feel their best.

✨ Prevention, early detection and appropriate treatment can make a world of difference!

If your pet has bad breath, visible tartar, red gums or changes in eating habits, or if you’re simply due a dental check, get in touch with our friendly team. We’re always happy to help! 💙💚

✨ Laparoscopic Spays: A little incision, a big difference! ✨

Our gorgeous Caro brought her equally gorgeous girl, Zola, in for a laparoscopic spay — and this case is a wonderful reminder of why these procedures are about so much more than just preventing unwanted pregnancies. 🩷

During Zola’s procedure, our lovely vet Jenny discovered multiple cysts affecting both her right and left ovaries.

Ovarian cysts can vary in their significance, and while not all cysts cause problems, their presence highlights the importance of being able to assess the reproductive organs carefully during surgery.

Unlike a traditional spay, a laparoscopic spay is a minimally invasive procedure performed using a tiny camera and specialised instruments through small incisions in the abdomen.

✨ The benefits can include:
• Smaller surgical incisions.
• Less trauma to the surrounding tissues.
• Reduced post-operative discomfort.
• A potentially quicker recovery and return to normal activity.

Laparoscopic spays are particularly valued for the precision and visibility they offer during surgery. In Zola’s case, the procedure also allowed Jenny to identify the ovarian cysts on both sides.

Spaying is an important decision in your girl’s healthcare, and choosing the right procedure for her is always something to discuss with your vet. A laparoscopic spay isn’t suitable for every patient, but for many dogs, it can offer significant benefits.

We’re so proud of our wonderful team and grateful to Caro for trusting us with Zola’s care. 💗

Our fantastic vets, Valentin and Jenny, perform laparoscopic spays at Kingston Veterinary Group across both sites! 💙💚

If you’d like to find out whether a laparoscopic spay is the right choice for your girl, our friendly team would love to help!

October is the perfect time to celebrate black cats so here’s a few of our staff black cats being mischievous! 🐈‍⬛😆

This October, let’s give our little panthers the appreciation they deserve! 🐈‍⬛🖤 They’re not bad luck… they’re good luck wrapped in a fluffy black coat! 🍀✨

To all the black cat parents out there, show us your beautiful cats in the comments! 👇📸🖤

🖤 Black cats are beautiful. Black cats are magical. Black cats deserve love all year round! 🖤

This gorgeous girl is called Freya and Freya achieved a HUGE goal with us at Kingston recently!

Freya has been having one to one desensitisation appointments with our amazing nurse Nicole and after a few months working together Freya managed a full nose to tail health check with Nicole in a consult room with nothing but smiles! 💚

Freya, her owner and Nicole have all worked so hard to make the vets a less scary place and all the hard work has paid off! No more growling out of fear or worrying about walking into a consult room, just big smiles all round from now on! 🥹🩺💚💙

We’re so proud of Freya and can’t wait to see her for treats and cuddles next time she’s in! 🐶🫶🏼

If your dog has vet anxiety, speak to one of our nurses about how best to support you and your pet moving forward! 🩺
