Good oral hygiene is very important for your pet’s health and tooth-brushing helps achieve this. However, even with regular brushing, tartar can still accumulate and this needs to be removed to prevent inflammation, infection, pain and tooth loss. We perform all routine dental procedures including dental cleaning, dental extractions , dental x-rays etc.

We have separate hospitalisation facilities for dogs and cats. Because dogs and cats may not always enjoy each others company, they can rest and recover in their own dedicated facilities. This helps pets relax and recuperate after surgical procedures or when they are hospitalised for treatment.
