Dental Cleanings

We proudly offer dental services for just $150.00 and are available for dogs & cats under 10 years old already spayed or neutered.*

Call Florida Aid to Animals at one of our two locations and ask about our Dental Specials. We will only do Dentals on Pets that have been spayed or neutered. Any pet 6 years of age or older will be required to have Senior Wellness Blood Work. Our cut-off age for Dentals is right at 10 years old.

Any patient aged 10 years or older, and or with health problems (such as heart murmurs or seizures) will be referred to a local full service clinic that is equipped to handle high risk patients safely.

Dentals and why your pet needs them

According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have dental disease by the age of 3. Dental (or periodontal) disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem in pets.

Common signs of dental disease include:

  • Yellow or brown buildup (tartar) on the teeth
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Bad breath
  • Excessive drooling
  • Changes in eating or chewing habits
  • Pawing at the face
  • Loose teeth
  • Depression

Even if your dog or cat doesn’t have these symptoms, we recommend that you have a veterinarian evaluate your pet’s dental health at least once a year. Bacteria and food debris accumulate around the teeth and, if left unchecked, will lead to deterioration of the soft tissue and bone surrounding the teeth. This decay can result in irreversible periodontal disease, tooth loss, and possibly expensive oral surgery.

Dental disease can also affect other organs in the body: Bacteria in the mouth can get into the bloodstream and cause serious infections in the kidneys, liver, lungs, and heart. If these problems aren’t caught and treated quickly enough, they can result in death. A physical exam combined with appropriate laboratory work can determine if infection in the mouth has spread.

Call Florida Aid to Animals at one of our two locations and ask about our Dental Specials. We will only do Dentals on Pets that have been spayed or neutered, or are being altered at the same time as the dental. Any pet 6 years of age or older will be required to have Senior Wellness Blood Work. Our cut off age for Dentals is right at 10 years old.

  • Only for Dogs – a negative heartworm test and proof of their heartworm prevention is required. (Or we can do this test also, the cost is $37.75).
  • We do require a deposit ($50.00) to make the surgery/dental appointment (this deposit is your partial payment toward the total cost of the surgery/dental, you will pay the balance after the surgery/dental at the time of pickup.) This deposit is your promise to come on the day of surgery (If you no call/no show we will keep your deposit.
