Dental Care FAQ's

Healthy teeth are essential for your pet’s overall health and comfort. Dental disease is the most common medical condition in dogs and cats. By the age of three, most pets already have some degree of periodontal disease. Left untreated, dental disease can lead to:

  • oral pain
  • tooth loss
  • infection of the gums and bone
  • bacteria entering the bloodstream and affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys

A professional dental procedure allows us to thoroughly clean your pet’s teeth and evaluate the health of the mouth and tooth roots. At Second Chances Veterinary Care, every dental procedure includes a Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment (COHAT) performed under safe general anesthesia.

Financial Concerns?

As pet owners ourselves, we know how tough it can be when your furry family member needs medical care and personal finances are tight. We’ve created this list of financial options for that reason.  Please follow these links for more information.

Other options may include: major credit cards, Scratchpay, CareCredit, donating plasma, selling personal items/services and goods (pawn broker), or reaching out to friends/family for assistance may also be routes to consider.

SCVC understands not all owners have the same means to pay, and we understand that veterinary care can be an unexpected and costly expense. To keep our fees as low as possible for all clients it is imperative each client pays for the products and services provided to them. If you have any financial concerns or constraints, notify the staff before treatments are performed. 

We Prosecute for Theft of Service.

In the event services are rendered and not paid in full at the time, or satisfactory arrangements are not made and honored to resolve outstanding balances, we do reserve the right to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law for THEFT OF SERVICE. As described by Colorado Revised Statutes Title 18. CriminalCode § 18-4-401.
