Dog and Cat Teeth Cleaning in Doha
Owning a pet requires more than just at-home care. Preventive, professional veterinary care including dog and cat teeth cleaning is also important, especially for oral health. Did you know that most pets show early signs of dental disease by just 3 years of age? Left untreated, this disease can affect a pet’s liver, heart, and kidneys, which can eventually shorten his or her lifespan. The veterinarians at Veterinary Surgery in Doha want to prevent dental disease for as many pets as we can, which is why we offer comprehensive dental services, including:
- Ultrasonic scaling (teeth cleaning)
- Polishing
- Digital dental X-rays
- General anesthesia
- Tooth extractions
- At-home dental care recommendations
The Veterinary Surgery’s pet dental suite is equipped with modern monitoring equipment so we can monitor our patients’ vitals through every phase of their dental treatment. We also make every effort to ensure the safety and comfort of our patients while they’re in our care.

How to Prevent Pet Gum Disease
The first step to maintaining your pet’s oral health to prevent gum disease is staying up-to-date with his or her annual wellness exams. During these exams, we examine your pet’s teeth and gums to determine if a separate appointment for a dental teeth cleaning or advanced dental exam is necessary. Some of the signs we look for include bad breath, loose teeth, and tartar buildup. After each wellness and dental visit, we can provide you with at-home recommendations for dental care so you keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy in between visits. These include brushing tips and pet dental products that prevent tartar buildup and bad breath.
