Dog and Cat Teeth Cleaning in Alhambra, CA

Pet dental care is one of the most important aspects of your pet’s overall health. Many pet owners do not realize this, but oral health has a direct effect on physical health. For this reason, it is so important to keep your pet’s mouth healthy and clean at all times.

When your pet comes in to our office for their annual wellness exam or a sick visit, we perform a nose-to-tail examination that includes the oral cavity. If a professional dog or cat teeth cleaning is recommended, we will schedule that for a separate time. Call us today at (626) 282-2179 to schedule an appointment today.
