You cannot judge a mouth from the front teeth.
Most dental disease sits below the gum line and behind the molars. Radiographs under anaesthetic are the only way to see the whole picture.
Bad breath is not just bad breath.
It is usually the first sign of infection. Pets rarely stop eating from dental pain, so owners often have no idea anything hurts.
- Bad breath
- Tartar, or red and receding gums
- Chewing on one side, or dropping food
- Pawing at the mouth, or a change in temperament
A quote before, not a bill after.
We assess, radiograph, then call you with what we have found and what it costs before we go further. You decide with the information in hand.
Common questions
The things owners ask us most.

Sometimes. We only extract teeth that cannot be saved, and we will call you before we do.
The assessment is quoted at booking. The procedure is quoted once we can see the radiographs.
Daily brushing is the gold standard, with dental diets and chews as support. Our nurses will show you how.
We don't just care for pets. We care for the people who love them.
