I do the dental cleanings with a dentist but i am going to also look at anesthesia free as well after hearing so many good reviews It is always so sad when we try to do the right thing and something goes wrong |
Your right...it is very sad.
I've heard of anesthesia-free cleaning, but it isn't practiced a lot here. I found one vet who does it, but what told that is usually isn't done on "high strung" small dogs.
A lot of vets do it in California; I think the doctor who started it is from there. I feel as though we're between a rock and a hard place.
