Pet Dental Care and Dentistry in Lahore & Karachi
Why Dental Health Matters for Your Pet
Dental disease is one of the most common conditions veterinarians diagnose, affecting an estimated 80% of dogs and 70% of cats by the age of three. Yet it remains one of the most overlooked aspects of pet care. Untreated plaque and tartar build-up leads to gingivitis, periodontal disease, tooth root abscesses, and chronic pain your pet instinctively hides. In severe cases, bacteria from oral infections enter the bloodstream and damage the heart, kidneys, and liver.
At Zia Vet Clinic, our dental programme prevents, diagnoses, and treats the full spectrum of oral health conditions in dogs, cats, and exotic species.
Our Dental Services
Every dental visit begins with a full examination of your pet’s mouth, including teeth, gums, tongue, palate, and jaw. We assess for plaque, tartar, gingivitis, fractured teeth, oral masses, and malocclusion.
Using ultrasonic scaling equipment, we remove plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces, including below the gum line where disease often starts. Every cleaning is followed by polishing to smooth enamel and slow future build-up.
Approximately 60% of dental disease exists below the gum line and is invisible to the naked eye. Our digital dental X-rays evaluate tooth roots, bone density, and hidden infections before planning any procedure.
When a tooth is beyond saving, our surgeons perform safe extractions under general anaesthesia with full monitoring. We also handle complex oral surgeries including jaw fracture repair and tumour removal.
We equip every pet parent with a practical home care plan, including brushing techniques, recommended dental diets, and safe chew options.
Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care
Persistent bad breath is one of the earliest signs. Other indicators include red or swollen gums, difficulty eating or chewing on one side, excessive drooling, pawing at the mouth, loose or discoloured teeth, and bleeding from the gums. If you notice any of these, schedule a dental evaluation promptly.
Safe Anaesthesia and Monitoring
All dental procedures requiring anaesthesia follow strict safety protocols. We perform preanaesthetic blood screening, use modern anaesthetic agents, and monitor vital signs continuously. A dedicated nurse oversees recovery until your pet is fully alert and comfortable.
