Keeping Your Pet’s Smile Healthy

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets—but also one of the most preventable. At JM Ritchie Veterinary Hospital, we believe that maintaining good oral hygiene is just as important as routine exams and vaccines. That’s why we offer professional veterinary dentistry services to help your dog or cat enjoy a healthier, more comfortable life.

Whether your pet is here for a routine dental checkup or showing signs of dental disease like bad breath, drooling, or discomfort while eating, our experienced veterinary team is here to help. Using safe anesthesia and advanced cleaning tools, we can detect and treat dental issues before they become painful or more serious.

  • Full oral exams under anesthesia

We’ll walk you through your pet’s oral health status and partner with you to keep their teeth and gums healthy year-round.

Why Pet Dental Care Matters

Untreated dental issues can cause chronic pain, tooth loss, infection, and even affect internal organs like the heart and kidneys. By investing in regular dental cleanings and monitoring, you’re not only freshening your pet’s breath—you’re also supporting their long-term health and comfort.
