Unfortunately where I live and the vets that I chose to use are very expensive, but they know my dogs so I wouldn’t have it done by someone that doesn’t know my dogs and that I don’t know them. I’m not saying that’s right or wrong. Just me being neurotic about my girls. I have always had blood work done before anything having to do with anesthesia. Also, that wouldn’t be just my choice but by the doctors orders also.
Have your dogs teeth professionally cleaned is a must when needed. Hopefully before needed too much. It’s just like ourselves. We brush our teeth, of course, but we still go the the dentist so that the hygienist does a complete dental cleaning. Bacteria would probably also go into our bloodstream and do harm to our kidneys and liver just as it would with our animals if we never cleaned our teeth.
