Welcome to our Dental Hygienist Plan
Do you struggle to brush your dog’s teeth? You’re not alone.
We know. It isn’t always practical, or even possible. Most pets won’t tolerate teeth brushing and that’s normal. But dental hygiene is just as important for your pet as it is for you.
Our new Dental Hygienist Plan is here to solve that problem for you. No more bad breath and no nasty consequences due to poor dental hygiene. If your pet has bad breath, that’s almost always a symptom of a larger issue.
And if left to get worse, your pet could end up with gum disease and toothache, eventually losing teeth and seeing further health complications such as liver, kidney and heart disease.
With our Dental Hygienist Plan, you can ensure your pet has access to the right dental care at the right time.
What’s included?
Dental scale and polish as often as our team thinks is necessary
Six month dental health check with a nurse
20% off dental diets
50% off Plaque Off dental powder
20% off dental toys and aids
*Extractions are charged separately; the plan covers the general anaesthetic + scale & polish. We won’t recommend your pet receives a scale and polish, which requires going under general anaesthetic, more often than we believe is necessary for the benefit of their dental hygiene.
With our Dental Hygienist Plan, you can ensure your pet has access to the right dental care at the right time.
Dental disease is one of the most common problems we see in pets
Regular dental check-ups with our qualified vets and nurses help spot issues early
Early detection can prevent pain and reduce the need for more invasive treatment later
