Dentistry |
| |
|
Nearly 80% of dogs and cats have
some form of dental disease. Dental
problems can lead to severe health threats
such as systemic infections affecting
the lungs and heart.
Proper care is essential! Brushing
your pet's teeth, proper diet and
routine checks are important. Many pets require
a dental cleaning. Your
pet is lightly anaesthetized using isoflurane
gas and the teeth are ultrasonically scaled, then polished and sealed..

Stem Cell Therapy
A new and exciting procedure that can significantly help pets with osteoarthritis and some liver and joint problems! This therapy uses your pet's own, adult stem cells so there are no ethical issues or chance of rejection as there is with organ replacement.

Laser Surgery

Less Pain for your
Pet!
Lasers surgery has been widely accepted as a higher standard
of care in human medicine for over 30 years. It presents
a host of benefits over traditional surgery, and in many
procedures, the can replace the scalpel entirely.
What are the benefits
of laser surgery?
Less Pain:
The laser seals nerve endings as it "cuts." As
a result, your pet will experience less pain and be more
comfortable after surgery.
Less Bleeding:
The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery. Because
there is less bleeding, surgery is often completed more
quickly, reducing the amount of time your pet will be under
anesthesia. This further reduces potential complications.
Reduced Swelling & Infection:
Physical contact between the laser and the surgical region
is never established, thus eliminating the crushing, tearing
and bruising of tissue associated with traditional surgical
method-s. Additionally, the CO2 laser energy acts as an
antimicrobial/antibacterial agent by producing high temperatures,
effectively eliminating microorganisms.
Quick return to normal activities:
Healing is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort
and a better course of healing.
