You’ve Got Questions, We’ve Got Answers
Is anesthesia safe for my pet?
As a veterinary dental professional, I understand your concerns about the safety of anesthesia for your pet. It is important to recognize that while anesthesia does carry some risk, these risks can be effectively managed with appropriate safety measures.
In the small animal (dog and cat) veterinary field, we use a variety of safety measures to minimize the risks associated with anesthesia. For example, we perform pre-anesthetic evaluations to identify any underlying health issues that could increase the risk of complications. We also monitor pets closely throughout the anesthesia process, including monitoring vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels.
When it comes to safety statistics, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) estimates that the risk of anesthetic death in dogs and cats is around 0.05% to 0.12%. While this risk is not zero, it is important to keep in mind that the vast majority of pets undergo anesthesia without any complications.
What does dental cleaning actually do for my pet’s mouth and overall health?
Dental cleaning for pets involves the removal of tartar and plaque buildup, which can cause gum disease, bad breath, and tooth decay. A professional cleaning can also help prevent bacteria from entering the bloodstream and causing more severe health issues such as heart, kidney, and liver disease.
How often will a dental cleaning need to be performed for my pet?
The frequency of dental cleanings for pets depends on several factors, including age, breed, diet, and oral health. In general, it is recommended to have a professional dental cleaning performed annually, but your veterinarian may suggest more frequent cleanings if your pet is at higher risk for dental disease.
Will brushing my pet’s teeth help prevent the tartar from reappearing?
Brushing your pet's teeth regularly can help prevent the buildup of tartar and plaque, but it may not entirely prevent it. It is still recommended to have professional dental cleanings performed to address any stubborn tartar that brushing may have missed.
Will getting the dental done help my pet’s stinky breath?
Yes, dental cleaning can help improve your pet's breath. Bad breath can be a sign of dental disease or other underlying health issues, and cleaning your pet's teeth can help address the root cause of the odor.
Is my pet going to need any extractions during the dental cleaning?
Extractions may be necessary during a dental cleaning if a tooth is severely decayed, infected, or damaged. Your veterinarian will evaluate your pet's teeth and gums during the cleaning to determine if any extractions are necessary. It is important to follow your veterinarian's post-operative instructions carefully if your pet does have any extractions.
Do you have payment options available?
Yes! We understand that veterinary care can be expensive, and we're committed to working with pet owners to find affordable solutions. We offer a range of payment options, including third-party financing, and we're happy to help you create a plan to break up diagnostic testing and treatment into manageable steps. Our goal is to help your furry friend feel their best without breaking the bank.

What should I feed my pet?
Your pet's diet should be balanced and provide all the necessary nutrients for their specific age, breed, and health status. One of our doctors can recommend the best type of food and feeding schedule for your pet. It is also essential to avoid feeding your pet table scraps or foods that are toxic to them, such as chocolate or onions.
What vaccines does my pet need?
The vaccines your pet needs depend on their age, lifestyle, and risk factors for specific diseases. Core vaccines are recommended for all pets, while non-core vaccines may be recommended based on your pet's exposure risks. We can develop a personalized vaccination schedule for your pet.
How much exercise does my pet need?
The amount of exercise your pet needs varies based on their breed, age, and overall health. In general, dogs need at least 30 minutes to 1 hour of exercise each day, while cats need 15-20 minutes of playtime. It is important to provide regular exercise to keep your pet healthy and prevent obesity.
When should I spay or neuter my pet?
The timing for spaying or neutering your pet varies based on their breed, size, and overall health. In general, it is recommended to spay or neuter pets between 4-6 months of age, but we can always provide guidance on the best timing for your pet.
How much should I save up to cover my pet’s health needs?
It is important to have a plan to cover your pet's potential health needs. The cost of veterinary care can vary widely depending on your pet's condition, and the type of treatment required. Pet insurance or setting aside a monthly budget for potential health expenses can help ensure you can provide necessary care for your pet. Here at Maricamp, we have several options, such as Trupanion, to help cover the costs!
How can I get my pet to stop [any one of the maddening things pets do]?
Addressing behavioral issues in pets requires patience, consistency, and often professional guidance. We can provide advice on addressing specific behavioral concerns and may recommend training, medication, or other interventions to help your pet learn new behaviors.
Does my pet need preventative meds?
Preventative medications, such as flea and tick preventives, heartworm preventives, and parasite control medications, can help keep your pet healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Our team can recommend the best preventative medications for your pet based on their lifestyle and risk factors.
What household items are dangerous to my dog?
Several household items can be toxic to dogs, including chocolate, grapes, onions, certain houseplants, cleaning products, and medications. It is important to keep these items out of reach of your pet and to contact us immediately if you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic.
When is it safe to travel with my dog?
The safety and comfort of traveling with your pet depend on several factors, including their age, health status, and temperament. Before traveling with your pet, it is important to consult with our team to ensure your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations, parasite prevention, and any necessary travel documentation.
How can I reach you if I have more questions?
You can reach us through our website or by phone to schedule an appointment or ask any questions you may have about your pet's health. Our team is dedicated to providing personalized care and support for you and your pet.
