Dentistry for Pets
Dental Disease is one of the most common diseases our dogs and cats can suffer. Just like humans, good dental hygiene and prompt treatment of dental disease are key for our pets to maintain a healthy, pain-free mouth.

Pet Dental Treatments
How do you know if dogs and cats have dental disease?
Our vets and nurses will assess your pet's dental health when you visit an Animal Trust clinic for their annual vaccination and health check.
You should also regularly check your pet's mouth to look for signs of gum inflammation (gingivitis). Gingivitis is when the gum line next to the teeth appears redder than the rest of the gum, or tartar (a chalky material) is visible on your dog or cat's teeth.
Other signs of dental disease in dogs and cats include rubbing or pawing at the mouth, bad breath, or a change in eating habits such as a reluctance to eat, dropping food when eating, or chewing strangely. If you ever suspect your pet has dental disease, you should book a free consultation with your local Animal Trust vet or nurse to have it assessed.

Caring for your pet after a dental procedure.
Once we've finished performing the dental procedure, we take your pet to our in-patient so they can wake up comfortably. Once your dog or cat is ready to go home, we'll give you a call and arrange an appointment for collection.
Upon collection, we will provide a full breakdown of the procedure that has been carried out and the details of our post-surgical advice. This advice includes after-care information on how to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible at home, and how to minimise the chance of dental disease recurring. We'll also go through any prescribed medication, such as painkillers which are required after extractions.
The cost of a dental procedure
We charge a fixed price for dental regardless of how many teeth need to be extracted, or the length of the procedure, so you have peace of mind as to what the dental procedure costs in advance. The price of a dental procedure is £289 which includes the anaesthetic, dental surgery and the pain relief to go home with. See our prices page for more information.
