February is Dental Month at Pismo Beach Vet!

Posted on January 16, 2017 by pismobeachvet

February is National Pet Dental Month, and because we want your loved ones to start the new year with fresh breath, February will be also Dental Month at Pismo Beach Vet.

At Pismo Beach Vet, we strongly believe that preventative dental care is the best way to ensure that your pet has a healthy smile for life. It has been shown that 85% of dogs and cats have periodontal disease by the age of three. Good oral hygiene, starting with regular dental cleanings, can improve comfort as well as overall physical health. Untreated dental disease can lead to major problems affecting the heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver.

For the month of February all dental packages will be discounted 15%. These packages include not only the dental cleaning and anesthesia, but also pre-anesthetic blood screening, IV catheterization and fluids to help make these procedures as safe as possible for your pet. Mention this email and also receive a discount on dental products including tooth brush kits.

Call us today for more information or login to your Pet Portal to make an appointment!

“What is your favorite thing about Veterinary Medicine?”

I’m one of the luckiest people in the world to be able to practice my passion everyday. After 9 years going on 10, I’m still amazed and surprised by my profession. Every year brings a new technique and knowledge to improve my ability to care for animals. I love the fact that we have the ability to end suffering and relieve pain. As painful as that sometimes is, it’s a gift that I feel privilege to share. I also love that animals give you the best feeling that melts your heart every time. And that is the best feeling ever.

“What do you love about working at Pismo Beach Vet?”

I’ve enjoyed working at Pismo Beach not just because of the patients but also working with our clients. They have became a family of my own. Our doctors are the best, they never stop teaching us new things, they always want us to achieve more and learn more. The people I work with all share the same compassion and commitment. At Pismo Beach, our patients are number one on our list. We will always manage to get you an appointment, we’ve extended our hours and are open seven days a week. This is why I love what I do.
