Expert care for your pet at PetSmart Veterinary Services Huntington Beach — compassionate, experienced, and close to home.
Why Your Pet's Oral Health Matters
Dental disease is one of the most frequently overlooked health issues in pets. By age three, the majority of dogs and cats show some degree of periodontal disease — yet many owners don't realize their pet is suffering because animals instinctively hide pain. Left untreated, dental disease can cause chronic pain, tooth loss, and contribute to serious conditions affecting the heart, kidneys, and liver.

What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings require general anesthesia so we can safely clean all surfaces of the teeth and below the gumline. Before the procedure, we perform a pre-anesthetic exam and may recommend bloodwork to ensure your pet is a safe anesthesia candidate. Our team monitors your pet closely throughout and provides detailed home care instructions on discharge.
