Dental Cleaning
At LazyPaw Animal Hospitals, we believe in providing the utmost care for your pet.
Why is dental care so important?
Think back to a time when you couldn’t brush your teeth for a day. Your mouth felt fuzzy, you had terrible breath and, when you did brush, your gums might have been tender and possibly even bled. Well, now imagine you are a dog or a cat that has never brushed your teeth. Your breath would stop a truck and your teeth hurt every time you chew. In fact most doggie dental experts report that up to 85% of dogs over the age of four have some type of dental disease. Dental Cleaning for Dogs and Cats in Frisco can help your pets avoid gum disease.
In the natural world dogs and cats eat a variety of foods, particularly bones, which scrape against the surface of the teeth and remove the plaque and other strange stuff that sticks in and between the teeth. Our pets don’t eat raw bones and raw foods; rather they eat processed foods and soft foods that are designed to provide high nutritional content but not much scraping action. The result is that our pets now have a greater risk of developing dental problems including gingivitis, gum infections, tooth decay and early tooth loss, all which can lead to serious health problems over time.

How can LazyPaw help?
We offer you a range of dental hygiene options at our Frisco Vet office to help your pet’s mouth stay as healthy as possible. We check the teeth and gums during every exam and we are happy to show you some home dental hygiene practices you can use. However with many pets, particularly older dogs and cats, gingivitis, periodontitis, and chipped or cracked teeth require immediate dental care to correct the problem. Bad teeth or serious damage to the gums typically may require an extraction, which we do in our office using the most advanced and pain free procedures possible.
Are there any risks?
Dental cleaning requires that the pet be put under full anesthesia. There is always some risk involved with anesthetizing any pet, however our advance blood tests allow us to detect any possible concerns and modify our anesthesia protocols to ensure safety for your pet. We will explain any possible risks involved with any procedure we recommend and also provide information on the alternative options that may be available. We will also discuss with you the risk that may be involved in not completing any treatment.
If you haven’t had your pet’s teeth checked, please give us a call or use the webpage to book an appointment. Also give us a call to schedule an appointment if you notice your dog or cat has stopped eating, paws at his or her mouth, has inflamed red gums or has any bleeding from the gums when eating, chewing or playing with favorite toys.

I highly recommend this place. Jason MorganJanuary 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking for the best care possible for your pet, you won't find a better place than LazyPaw. Because I'm a disabled veteran, I rely heavily on my service dog on a daily basis so I need my dog to be healthy and reliable. Not only do they provide excellent care at a very nice facility, but their friendly staff and their veterinarians have gone out of their way on several occasions when my dog became very ill and have even stayed open late on a weekend to help me get my documents in order to take my dog out of the country. I have also seen LazyPaw at many events because they believe in being a part of their community and helping others. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. If you love your dog as much as I love mine, then I wouldn't see why you would even consider going anywhere else than LazyPaw.

They always treat Oakland with such wonderful care and consideration, and there’s never a wait upon arrival. The vets are amazing. As you can see from the photos, Oakland is at complete ease when we come here. Anja YamajiNovember 30, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Lenz has been my veterinarian for the past six years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I have two poodles, now 14 and 15, and she has provided them with exceptional care every step of the way. We’ve been through some very challenging times, but Dr. Lenz’s dedication, compassion, and expertise have always pulled us through. It’s clear she is in this profession for all the right reasons - she genuinely cares. I truly can’t imagine a better veterinarian to entrust with my pets’ health. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your animals like her own, Dr. Lenz is the one. Highly recommend! tj thompsonOctober 30, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been with this veterinarian many years! Always very satisfied T!
