  • Yes, a veterinarian isn't always highly skilled in pet dentistry much like your family doctor isn't specialized in dentistry.

  • Not your dentist, your dogs dentist.......his vet! your dog will think you for it, maybe.
  • Yes. A canine dentist will do a through exam and xrays while the dog is under. It is NOT cheap, but worth the money if you want to care for your dog. My canine dentist found and solved problems my vet would have never found. It was well worth the month I spent.
  • I would suggest the trip to a specialized dental vet only AFTER your regular vet assesses your dog's particular situation, through a routine exam. If your dog's teeth are very dirty or damaged, beyond what might be considered ordinary wear/tear and plaque build up, a cleaning by a dental vet - someone better skilled to handle special problems outside the norm - will probably be recommended by your vet anyway. Ask for details. Find out the advantages of using a dental vet for your dog's mouth problems. Understand what needs to be done and why your routine vet isn't capable.
  • just like people, dogs,animals need dental cleaning 2 a year. plaque, calculus build up is no different. its not species choicy, brushing their every morning especially at night after last food intake. all vets are trained in dentistry. they must undergo anesthetic. get some gauze and soak it in cepacol mouthwash, and wipe down their teeth and gums. buy a good enzyme toothpaste for dogs and brush them.
  • Yes it will be better to take your dog to dentist.Not only taking to dentist blindly u have to choose the right dentist for you, it is important that you take your time and find someone that you can trust, that you are comfortable with, and that can provide you with the services you need.I found this links very helpful: http://www.HealthyHappyDogs.com http://www.Dog-Health-Care-Information.com http://HealthierDogs.com
  • We don't, we just feed raw meaty bones and it cleans up the teeth so well. Our vet was amazed at the health of our dogs' teeth. Other people have even noticed, but then again, they are really large dogs LOL! We feed chicken and turkey parts like necks, backs, carcasses or pork neck bones (after being frozen for a few weeks) But they MUST be raw.
