Oral Hygiene Check
At Liverpool Vet Nurse, we can help you with your pets oral hygiene. We have a selection of different teeth cleaning aids including suitable toothpaste. Whether you have a puppy and you wish to get them used to having their teeth/mouth checked along with learning to brush your dogs teeth or you just want a little help with getting ontop of their oral hygiene, we can help in the comfort of your own home.
It is important to note that this appointment is a non-clinical service and any abnormalities noted will be recommended to be followed up with your vet. As a RVN, I am unable to diagnose but I am qualified to observe and report to you any signs of abnormalities.
What to expect at your pets Oral Hygiene Appointment
At Liverpool Vet Nurse, we use a fear free approach to our handling techniques. This means we follow your pets lead and make them feel as comfortable as we can during their procedure. Allowing pets to adjust to a new person is a huge help for them to gain trust and confidence around them. I will simply sit with your pet to allow me to gain their trust.
I always bring a selection of treats to every appointment, upon booking I will ask if your pet is on any specific diet or has any condition such as diabetes which may be affected by treats. I will use treats to put pets at ease and allow them to trust my presence.
Once your pet is feeling comfortable and happy, I will begin to carry out the procedure. I will check your pets mouth and report any observations to you. If anything appears abnormal I will recommend you contact your vet for a check up. I will use a suitable tooth brushing aid (finger brush, toothbrush) and suitable species specific toothpaste and clean your pets teeth.
Once the procedure is all complete, I will give lots of praise and more treats.
