| Ultrasonic Tooth Scalers Just curious if any of you use or have used ultrasonic tooth scalers on your dogs. And if you have, how did you get them to hold still for it? Lightly sedate them? With what? Is the scaler safe? Easy to use? The brand of scaler you are using? Any info..pros and cons to using them? I'm getting really tired of the prices the vets out here are charging and I also want to give my babies the best care that I can. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Aloha. |

| I have one and use it frequently on the yorkies. We just wrap them in a towel and hold them down. I have it plumbed into the faucet for the water source. I think it's great!! Much better than having your dog intubated which can cause trachea damage. My only conern is build up of minerals in the machine. I'm afraid it's starting to clog. If I was to buy one again I'd get one with its own water well so you could use distilled water. |
