Because a healthy mouth means a better life.

Only The Best

MetroPet has always been dedicated to keeping your pets’ teeth at their best, but we added new equipment in 2013 to make these services even better! Our standard dental cleaning is on par with standard human dentistry (except that it’s done under general anesthesia).

Digital Dental X-ray: Dental X-ray has helped us diagnose problems with the tooth root problems that we can not see with a normal exam or even visually during a dental cleaning. Prompt removal of these teeth means that your pet gets a more thorough treatment, and their fresh breath will last longer!
Ultrasonic scaling: A high pitched frequency blasts off the tartar and plaque from your pets’ teeth, allowing us to clean them quickly and efficiently.
Abrasive Polish and Fluoride Treatment: A spinning cup and abrasive paste polishes the surface of your pets’ teeth and removes some stains and remaining plaque and tartar. We will then do a fluoride treatment to help maintain that clean polish.

As part of our standard dental procedure, we automatically provide Whole Mouth X-Rays to give the best standard of care and find any problems. We also do a fluoride treatment with every dental to help maintain that clean polish.

Lift the Lip: How to tell if my pet needs dental care

Periodontal disease is not just a cosmetic issue. Bacteria from the mouth can travel in the bloodstream to the heart, liver, kidneys, or elsewhere in the body and cause disease just as it can in humans. Having a healthy mouth is one of the most important ways to keep your pet healthy. Periodontal disease is also incredibly painful for the pet. Just because a pet is still eating does not mean it is not in pain. The signs of pain are extremely subtle and would not be noticed. Furthermore, pets continue to eat because they are hungry and they have to but this does not mean they are not in pain.
