FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions: Canine Dentistry

Veterinary team with dog in hospital
  • Our veterinarian will examine your dog's teeth and gums for signs of dental disease or broken teeth. We'll assess the level of tartar buildup and gum inflammation to determine if a professional dental cleaning is needed. Based on the examination, we'll provide a treatment plan and cost estimate for any recommended dental procedures.

  • Yes, we provide payment plans for dog dental procedures through third-party financing partners like iFinance and LendCare. Contact us to discuss financing options for your dog's dental treatment.

  • Dog dental cleaning costs vary based on your pet's specific needs, the extent of tartar buildup, and whether extractions or additional treatments are required. We provide cost estimates after examining your dog. Call us for more details or to schedule a consultation.

  • Yes, we safely perform dental cleanings on senior dogs. We require pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure your older dog is healthy enough for anesthesia and adjust our protocols based on their specific health needs. Many senior dogs actually benefit greatly from dental care, as removing infected teeth can improve their overall health and quality of life.

  • No, we do not offer sedation-free dental cleanings. Professional veterinary dental cleanings require anesthesia to safely clean below the gum line, take necessary dental X-rays, and properly assess oral health. Anesthesia-free cleanings only address surface tartar and miss the critical areas where dental disease develops.

    My dog recently had her teeth cleaned at Barlow, and we both had a great experience! The dental team was very thorough, all the prices were reasonable and transparent, and all the staff were kind and compassionate. For anyone looking for a good vet dentist to get a proper dental cleaning for their dog, I would highly recommend Barlow.
