Veterinarians Dental

I had lousy luck wiith most veterinarian choices over my dogs lifetime. By adult stage I left annual vsits frustrated knowing something was still wrong but was going undiagnosed, despite the clean test results. Each new provider would give a blank stare, or offer for a wider blood panel screen, ending with the,"Did you want to get the heartworm preventative today?". Years later the question if mold may cause any symptoms was also dismissed. Yet why within a 6 month span my quick and athletic Silky terrier had went nearly blind from cataracts AND almost deaf? She was starting to stumble and nearly faint if we played ball as usual. She would sit, turned away from me, shaking almost like subtle neurological type seizures. She stopped drinking water. I too was having brain fog WAY beyond normal, minor skin issues and other ailments. I KNOW mold did cause some of our symptoms but no doctor or veterinarian would go there. Even though my girl made it 18 years I still experience feelings of regret and sadness wishing I could have found help to prevent ALL the suffering she hid so well. During COVID 2020 I took my dog to 3 vets, which req. we had to stay in our car, then a vet tech would bring out paperwork to compete...wait for turn, then come get my dog for the appt while I had to wait in the car...in HOT mid July/August days. (Rediculous policy to exclude the human from the pet's visit!) My 16 year old dog was stressed, then overheated and grew feverish. I suspected her teeth may be part of the problem but now the clinic who examined her wouldn't do a teeth cleaning due to fever at her age. Exhausting! Searching for a remedy luck smiled and I found THIS clinic. They worked with me to have my girl's blood drawn, screened to confirm health/tolerance, an antibiotics Rx, then scheduled surgery for multiple extractions. Hope was restored! As others have said in the comments here, I finallly found compassionate care, at reasonable prices, offering choice from a variety of pain med flavors (salmon pease), an aftercare sheet, and a follow up call...all wrapped up in a dated building run by friendly people who welcomed us inside rather than require I wait outside in the car. No nonsense, just specialized treatment delivered thru a well oiled machine in which each professional performs their tasks well, daily, and on repeat yet fail to make you feel like just a number. Without hesitation, even 5 years later, I highly recommend! And offer thanks and praise.

Took my Doberman puppy to have his ears cropped with Dr. Schaffer, and they are looking great. Just wanted to give a huge thanks to Dr. Schaffer and staff for an amazing job.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Veterinary Dental and their exceptional team. I’ve been bringing my dogs here for years, and I trust them completely with every aspect of their care. As someone who is deeply proactive and meticulous about my dogs’ health, I don’t take chances or cut corners—and neither do they. From routine dental procedures to complex, hard-to-diagnose health issues, the staff has consistently provided expert, compassionate care. Their dedication, knowledge, and attention to detail give me tremendous peace of mind. Veterinary Dental isn’t just a clinic—it’s a trusted partner in my dogs’ long-term health and well-being.

I would avoid this practice at all costs. A veterinarian told me that there were several professional complaints against Veterinarians Dental (that veterinarians can see but the general public cannot). My pup passed away less than two months after going to Veterinarians Dental. Instead of guesses, I will stick with facts. 1. They diagnosed my dog with CUPS. I was later told by a veterinarian that CUPS is an outdated diagnosis. 2. The medication prescribed to my dog did not list the actual medications. I was told by veterinarians, This Is Illegal. 3. Only when my dog went to emergency care did I ask what was in the medication, and Jim told me what medications (not dosage). There was a delay in his response, which did impact the care my pet received. 4. One of the medications in the syrup is not a medicine used currently by practicing vets. 5. Veterinarians Dental checked my dog’s blood work at her follow up, but none of her health information was shared with me. 6. Jim bought the practice when the practice founder passed away. Jim claimed to be a PhD to me. Jim is not a DVM. I saw nothing in the office confirming PhD credentials. 7. Veterinarians Dental does not have a website. Paper trails are difficult to come by.

This vet dental clinic is located in a cute retro building in the middle of modern buildings. The staff were super professional, caring and friendly. They videotaped the entire surgery and called us throughout the surgery to keep us updated. Our 7 year old 4lb Yorker is recovering well after extractions and cleaning. The staff continue to follow-up with us during our dogs recovery. We highly recommended this vet dentist.
