Asheville's mineral-rich mountain water and prevalence of natural pet treats contribute to unique dental challenges. Our dental services go beyond basic cleanings to address the specific oral health needs of local pets.
We see many cases of accelerated tartar buildup from well water in Buncombe County homes. For pets in downtown Asheville's older buildings, we frequently address tooth fractures from chewing historic woodwork. Our digital dental radiography helps detect problems early before they cause pain.
The procedure begins with pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure safety, especially important for senior pets from Asheville's established neighborhoods. During the cleaning, we document any issues common to mountain breeds and provide home care instructions using products available at local pet stores.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Asheville pet need more frequent dental care?
Our mineral-rich water accelerates tartar buildup, and many local pets enjoy chewing on mountain laurel or rhododendron branches that can damage teeth.
Do you offer non-anesthetic cleanings?
For the safety and thoroughness of care, we only perform dental procedures under anesthesia, especially important for complete evaluation of Asheville pets' unique dental needs.
