I received a reminder card on the mail from Max's "pediatrician" for his Semi-annual exam and to let me know that they now offer dental cleaning without anesthesia, I called them right away to find out more, the receptionist told me that it wont be done by the Dr. but by a certified technician,althoggh the dr. will be assisting, it is a new procedure, at least for them, on Dec1 will be the first day on their office, but not all dogs are good candidates to have this done, I'm assuming Max wont be either, I don't think he will allow anybody near his mouth, she also said I could call her on that day to find out more and how it had gone with the other dogs.
I found this
Pet Dental Services: Anesthesia-Free Teeth Cleaning for Dogs and Cats; dog dental care, taking care dogs teeth, cat teeth care, dog teeth problem, dog dental hygiene, I thought it would be a good idea for those that don't want their babies under anesthesia .
