Are all dogs and cats candidates for anesthesia-free cleaning?
No, but most are. A small percentage of pets have periodontal disease so advanced that we recommend a traditional dental by a vet. Also, we do not do extractions or x-rays, so those animals with loose teeth and suspicious lesions are also referred to a vet. Each dog or cat is examined prior to beginning the procedure and if we see that they are not eligible for an anesthesia-free cleaning, you are notified immediately at no charge.
