PET DENTAL (DENTAL SCALING)
R1850 (from R2454)
Regular Dental Scaling can prevent:
💙 tooth loss.
💙 gum disease.
💙 oral pain.
💙 bad breath (halitosis).
💙 progression of dental disease.
💙 reluctance to eat /weight loss.
💙 systemic diseases that affect the entire body.
Just like us humans, plaque build-up on dog and cats teeth hardens to tartar which in turn can lead to serious gum disease and pain, abscesses, and tooth loss. It can also result in systemic disease and dental hygiene is just the tip of the iceberg.
We recommend monitoring the level of tartar build up and underlying gum disease, and using preventative measures like an adequate dry food diet and regular brushing or water additives to extend the time between dental scaling (ultrasonic cleaning).
WHAT DO YOU GET?
- A free dental consultation for a general health check of your pet before the dental to discuss the extent of the issue and any underlying concerns.
- Pre-anaesthetic health check on the day of the procedure
- General anaesthetic and monitoring
- Teeth Cleaning [Ultrasonic Scaling] and Polish
- Post anaesthetic monitoring
- A complimentary pedicure and coat brush
- Useful tips on maintaining good teeth going forwards.
(This excludes any blood tests that may be recommended by the vet, teeth extractions or additional medication required to be continued at home.)
COMPREHENSIVE SENIOR CHECK-UPS
R2100 (from R3750)
Being pro-active with age-related disorders can improve longevity and can give your pet a new lease on life!
On average, a dog or cat is classed as senior (geriatric) once they reach the age of 7 or 8. Â This can vary with breeds and particularly large breed dogs as they generally have a shorter lifespan (approx. 8-10 years) as opposed to their smaller counterparts (approx 12-15 years).
Regular health checks become more important in early detection and screening for diseases and age-related conditions, such as arthritis and kidney-disease.  Recognising that our pets are ageing also means that we can tailor their diet and environment to suit their changing metabolism and ageing joints.​
WHAT DO YOU GET?
Full Consult and Examination:
Detection for heart murmurs, arrythmias and other pulse deficits.
An oral exam helps us to assess the dental health.
Checking for lumps and bumps.
Blood Smear:
Screening for blood parasites, changes in the appearance of red blood cells, and changes in white blood cell and platelet levels.
Urinalysis: Examination of your pet’s urine (patient permitting) to detect changes in urine concentration (which can be a useful first sign of kidney disease), urine protein loss and signs of infection.
Blood Work:
SDMA test (in house) checks kidney parameters, liver parameters, a blood glucose and blood protein levels. Â While this panel of tests cannot detect all problems, they do guide us in planning the safest anaesthetic possible for your pet and help detect other problems such as diabetes.
Chem 10/Pre-anaesthetic Profile (in house) checks kidney parameters, liver parameters, a blood glucose and blood protein levels. Â While this panel of tests cannot detect all problems, they do guide us in planning the safest anaesthetic possible for your pet.
Packed Cell Volume (PCV) is a simple test used as a screening tool for anaemia.
​THE SMALL PRINT:
*Any dentals recommended during the consultation will be offered at the promotional price (excludes extractions) and can be scheduled through reception.
