Keep Your Dog Smiling

Did you know 8 out of 10 adult dogs and cats get periodontal disease? Starting early with regular dental care can add years of health to your pet's life.
Did you know that 8 out of 10 adult dogs and cats develop periodontal disease? This condition not only damages teeth but can also lead to serious infections throughout the body. Unfortunately, many pet parents overlook the importance of regularly checking their pet’s mouth. Just like us, our pets need routine dental care to support a long, healthy, and happy life—while also keeping their breath fresh!
Poor dental health can be painful for pets and may lead to infections affecting vital organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys. Since dogs and cats instinctively hide discomfort, issues like cracked teeth often go unnoticed. Regular dental care is essential—not just for their comfort but because it can genuinely add years to their life.
At Dexter’s Deli we have partnered with Qualified Pet Dental - a dental service that offers a 7-step anesthesia-FREE teeth cleaning for dogs and cats.
“It’s amazing – this pet dental method is done without any anesthesia – and has proven to be not only safe and effective, but is also much less stressful for your pet”.
Qualified Pet Dental is a mobile veterinary service company that practices exclusively at on-site dental clinics locations like Dexter’s Deli and other pet businesses here in San Diego. While their focus is mainly dental cleanings, but also provide other services: vaccinations, travel certificates, microchipping, some medications - including flea meds - and wellness checks, which is super convenient.
The ideal candidate for anesthesia-free dental cleanings is a younger dog or cat with minor tartar buildup. This gentle and affordable method helps maintain fresh breath and allows for regular oral health checks, especially for pets prone to tartar accumulation on certain teeth. All Qualified Pet Technicians undergo specialized dental training, and a veterinarian is always on-site. However, this option is NOT suitable for pets with severe dental disease. If your pet’s teeth are heavily covered in tartar or their gums appear red and inflamed, a visit to your family veterinarian is recommended.
DEXTER SAYS…
Don’t delay, make an appointment – it’s easy, only $235 (which includes the exam fee).
Stop the tarter and redness before it becomes a problem- dogs and cats hide their pain. An early indicator is a change in eating behavior or an apprehension to chew.
Perfect for Toy breeds, which need early and consistent care because they are more prone to dental problems.
