Each pet is sent home with pain medicine after a surgery for you to administer orally.

• Dental cleaning and care - The dental services at Concord Chapel Animal Hospital include teeth cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions and minor oral surgery. 

According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show some signs of dental disease by the age of three. A diseased mouth can affect the total health of an animal just as it can humans. Without regular oral care, plaque and tartar begin to build up on the surface of a pet’s teeth. Over time this deposit of bacteria leads to bad breath, inflamed gums, and tooth loss. Infection enters into the bloodstream where it spreads to the liver, kidneys, heart and other places including the brain and spinal cord.

Dental care for our companion animals is essential to providing them with a long and comfortable life. We offer professional dental cleanings by trained and experienced staff. Just like human dentists, we use ultrasonic scalers to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gum line, followed by polishing to smooth out the tooth surface and delay plaque reformation. We check the entire mouth for any other signs of disease, and our veterinarians prescribe medication and home therapies, as needed, to keep your pets teeth in top shape. Prevention is always the best medicine, and we can show you how to keep your pets mouth as clean as possible using a variety of products and approaches tailored to your specific pets needs.

• Senior Wellness Exams and Geriatric Pet Care
  
  Soon, you may begin to notice signs that your pet is entering the senior years. In the past, many have accepted declining quality of life of our aging pets as a fact of life beyond our control. But, thanks to advances in animal nutrition and health care, there are now alternatives.
  
  A pet, 7 years or older, is classified as a senior. (Except giant breed dogs, such as the Mastiff and Great Dane, which are considered senior at age 5). Because pets age much quicker than humans, significant changes in health can occur in as little as 3 to 6 months.
  
  Even if your pet is in good health at age 7, we should develop a senior program tailored to your pet’s needs. This program will consist of nutritional evaluation and preventative health care, based on your pet’s health, weight and breed.
  
  As your pet becomes a geriatric pet, the veterinarians and veterinary staff at Concord Chapel Animal Hospital will help with you options for caring for your pet, managing an illness or disease and keeping him/her as comfortable as possible during his/her last years, months, weeks or days..
