For decades, PetWow has helped pets in Highland Heights, KY live healthier, more comfortable lives through comprehensive veterinary care. Located just across from Northern Kentucky University, our Highland Heights clinic provides professional dental care for dogs and cats throughout the surrounding Northern Kentucky area.

Dental health is easy to overlook, but it plays a major role in your pet’s overall well-being. Our veterinary team focuses on identifying dental disease early, treating painful oral health issues, and helping pet owners understand when a dental cleaning or further treatment may be needed.

Pet dental care includes oral exams, professional dental cleanings, and treatment for dental disease in dogs and cats. Over time, plaque and tartar can build up on your pet’s teeth, leading to gum inflammation, infection, tooth pain, and other health concerns.

Professional veterinary dental care allows us to clean below the gumline, evaluate your pet’s mouth thoroughly, and identify issues that may not be visible at home. This helps keep your pet more comfortable and can prevent more serious dental problems from developing.

Your pet may benefit from a dental evaluation if you notice:

• Bad breath
• Yellow or brown buildup on the teeth
• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Difficulty chewing or dropping food
• Drooling more than usual
• Pawing at the mouth
• Loose, broken, or missing teeth

Many pets continue eating even when their mouth hurts, so subtle signs can matter. If something seems off, a dental exam is the best way to know what is going on.

Better Overall Health

✅Dental disease can contribute to inflammation and infection that affects more than just the mouth. Treating dental issues can support your pet’s overall health.

Improved Comfort

✅Oral pain can make eating, chewing, and daily life uncomfortable. Dental treatment can help your pet feel better and enjoy normal activities again.

Prevention of Bigger Problems

✅Routine dental evaluations and cleanings can help reduce the risk of advanced disease, tooth loss, and more involved treatment later.

During your pet’s dental visit at our Highland Heights location, you can expect:

1. ✅A full oral exam. If you are a new client, or if your pet has not had an exam with us in over a year, we will first schedule an exam so our doctor can assess your pet’s mouth and determine whether dental disease or extractions may be present.
2. ✅Safe anesthesia with monitoring throughout the procedure.
3. ✅Treatment recommendations, including extractions if necessary.
4. ✅Professional cleaning, including scaling and polishing.
5. ✅A discussion about optional bloodwork and IV fluids, which we often recommend—especially for older pets—to support safety during anesthesia.

We take every step to make the process clear, safe, and as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
