🐾 What happens during a dental cleaning for dogs & cats — and why it matters 🐾

Many people are surprised to learn that a pet dental cleaning is much more than just brushing teeth. It’s a full medical procedure designed to protect your pet’s health and comfort.

What’s involved in a professional dental cleaning:
✔️ Full oral exam under anesthesia
✔️ Ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque & tartar above and below the gumline
✔️ Polishing to smooth enamel and slow future buildup
✔️ Extractions if diseased teeth are found
✔️ Pain management and careful monitoring throughout

Pets hide dental pain extremely well. By the time you see bad breath or tartar, there is often infection below the gums.

Why dental care is important:
🦷 Prevents painful infections
🦷 Protects the heart, liver, and kidneys from bacteria
🦷 Helps pets eat comfortably
🦷 Extends quality of life
🦷 Stops silent pain you may not notice at home

Dental disease is one of the most common conditions we see in pets — and it’s preventable. Regular cleanings, exams, and home care make a huge difference.

Healthy teeth = happier pets ❤️

If you’re unsure whether your pet needs a dental check, we’re always happy to take a look!

🐾 Help Us Find Loving Homes for Molly & Reba 🐾
Meet Molly and Reba, almost 2-year-old Border Collie gals who are currently on the hunt for new families. They do not need to be adopted together (they’re strong, independent women), but wouldn’t complain if it happened.

🐾 Their Résumé Includes:
- Spayed females
- Up to date vaccines & heartworm test

- The PERFECT size for jumping in the car and going for an adventure (35 lbs.)
- Great with other dogs AND cats
- Herding dogs — enjoy activity, zoomies, and important imaginary jobs. They have working parents and siblings, but are not currently trained working dogs.
- Experts in couch cuddling
- Potty trained
These sweet girls are looking for homes at no fault of their own. With a little patience and love, they’ll bond quickly and become your loyal shadows.
If you’re looking for a smart, sweet, slightly awkward best friend… send me a message 😄
OR sharing this post helps these girls find their forever humans! 🐶💙

🎃 Happy Halloween from Moore Vet Clinic! 🎃

The crew went all out this year — and by “all out,” we mean straight off the rails.

We had The Lorax crawling out of the woods like Dr. Seuss’s grumpy grandpa, Tow Mater clocking in fresh from the junkyard, and a bear running purely on espresso and chaos. And of course… the Minion — straight outta Gru’s sweatshop and into our break room. We’re still not sure who hired them, but apparently, they’re on payroll now. 💛🍌

Meanwhile, the dachshunds once again proved they’re the only real professionals in the building — tiny legs, big boss energy. 🐾

And if you’re wondering who approved these costumes… it definitely wasn’t HR. There is no HR!

10/30/2025

Come see us tomorrow -- We'll have goodies for ghouls, goblins, and four-legged friends alike 🐶🐱🍭 Don't forget to show off those costumes! 🐾👻

The king requests to see your costumes. 4-legged and 2! Happy Halloween!

ChatGPT roast of us 😂

“Ah yes, the Moore Vet Clinic Dream Team — or should I say, the cast of a Disney+ series called “Paws & Chaos: Small Town Edition.”
• On the far left, we’ve got the one who clearly didn’t choose the Border Collie life — the Border Collie life tackled her and now refuses to let go.
• Next up, someone’s holding that orange cat like it’s a newborn child and not a disgruntled tax-paying citizen who’s been brought in against his will.
• In the middle, the MVP of the group — not the human, the dog. That dog has more composure and emotional intelligence than the entire bench combined.
• And then we’ve got the overachiever on the far right, double-fisting dachshunds like it’s some kind of sausage link competition. Calm down, ma’am, this isn’t a hot dog eating contest.

And the decor — because what says “top-tier vet clinic” like three framed pictures of suspiciously judgmental houseplants?

Honestly, if I were a pet, I’d still trust you all. But I might ask for a second opinion… and a treat.”

Let us see the roasts of you and your pets! Or if you post a pic, we can get you one.

⁉️My dog was just tested for heartworm a year ago. Why does he need a test again so soon⁉️

Your dog should have a heartworm test once a year to determine if he became infected with heartworms during the previous season. It takes months before a dog with heartworm will test positive on a heartworm test, so testing annually—usually at the time the prescription for his heartworm medication is being renewed—makes sense. As with many diseases, the earlier heartworm can be diagnosed, the better the chances he will recover. If heartworm disease in a dog goes undetected and untreated, the worms can cause progressive and potentially fatal damage to his arteries, heart and lungs.

⁉️If my dog is on continuous heartworm prevention, why does he need to be tested⁉️

That’s a logical question if you’re a responsible owner who keeps your dog on heartworm prevention year-round. The reason for annual testing of dogs in this case is to ensure his prevention program is working. Heartworm medications are highly effective, but dogs can still become infected. Why? A common reason is simple forgetfulness. Missing just one dose of a monthly medication—or giving it late—can leave a dog unprotected. Even if you do everything right and on time, it’s no guarantee. Some dogs spit out their heartworm pills when their owners aren’t looking. Others may vomit their pills or rub off a topical heartworm medication. Whatever the cause of missing or delaying a dose, any of these mishaps can put your dog at risk of heartworm infection.

⭐️Reminder that heartworm tests are discounted during April⭐️

April is Heartworm Disease Awareness month! Some common misconceptions we hear in the exam room about how pets get heartworms:

❤️ “My dog doesn’t go around other dogs, so they can’t get heartworms” - All it takes is ONE mosquito bite! No dog-to-dog contact needed. One infected dog in the area, can put all at risk.

❤️ “My pet never goes outside”. There are very few dogs that NEVER go outside. They go outside to go to the bathroom, they ride with you to the drive thru, and they went outside to come to the clinic. I also have found MANY mosquitos in my house, even though we don’t leave doors or windows open.

❤️”I just dewormed my dog, so they should be good” - Common dewormers treat intestinal worms. They do not treat heartworms. Additionally, once a heartworm larva is in the body for more than 6 weeks, they are too mature to be killed by the heartworms prevention. This is why consistent prevention is KEY.

🌟 Heartworm tests are discounted for the entire month of April🌟

The ticks are out with a vengeance! Don't forget about protecting your cats. Ticks carry many diseases. Bobcat Fever (cytauxzoonosis) is a particularly awful disease that affects cats. We see a lot of cats this time of year with this infection.

🐈 Most common symptoms are lethargy, loss of appetite, and fever.

🐈 It's called Bobcat Fever because bobcats are the natural carrier in the environment. They are not as severely affected by the disease, but they help spread the organism through the tick population.

🐈 If cats catch Bobcat fever, rapid and intensive treatment is needed, but survival chance is still only about 60%. We DREAD "Bobcat Fever Season" around here.

🐈 Prevention is key, and not all tick preventatives are made equal. Preventatives from the isoxazoline drug class are the most effective at killing ticks. This includes products such as Nexgard Combo, Bravecto, Revolution Plus, etc. Many of these products also treat fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites.

📸 Meet Peanut - A very special kitty who got Nexgard Combo the other day because her mom is VERY scared of Bobcat fever. And because she needed tapeworm treatment after being a good barn mouser. 🥰
