Not all pets are good candidates for Anesthesia-free teeth cleaning due to three main reasons: The first one – is a behavior issue (the pet is highly aggressive or very stressed out) The second and main one is the medical conditions of the gums. Suppose they are very puffy or irritated, or sometimes even bleeding. All of these are sights of persistent periodontal disease. In that case, skipping hygiene and getting the complete veterinarian treatment under anesthesia is better. Our service would help immensely, but it wouldn’t cure your pet. The third one is the need for extractions: For example: sometimes, your pet needs to have one or more teeth extracted. An extraction is a procedure that should only be performed under general anesthesia. Although the list of contraindications seems impressive, our 6-year experience shows that hygiene can be done in 93% of dogs and 75% of cats. We do not charge for our services if your animal is not a good candidate for the procedure.
