Does my pet need anesthesia for a dental cleaning?

Yes, anesthesia is essential for safe, thorough, and low-stress dental cleaning for pets.

During a professional dental procedure, anesthesia allows veterinarians to clean below the gumline, where plaque, tartar, and bacteria build up over time. If left untreated, these things can lead to painful infections and long-term damage.

Anesthesia also ensures your pet remains still and comfortable, making it possible to perform a complete oral exam, dental X-rays, and any necessary extractions or treatments with minimal pain or fear.

Skipping anesthesia can mean missing serious dental issues that aren’t visible on the surface.

At Banfield Modesto, we prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort every step of the way with carefully monitored anesthesia and dental care.

What causes ear infections in dogs?
If your dog scratches their ears, shakes their head a lot, or seems uncomfortable, they may have an ear infection. A few factors may contribute to it:
- Ear size, shape, and amount of hair
- Allergies
- Foreign materials or ear masses
- Ear mites

Don't let them suffer or let the problem get worse. At Banfield Modesto, we can help identify the root cause of ear irritation and get your dog back to feeling their best.

Puppy separation anxiety: what's normal and what's not

Separation anxiety can lead to behaviors such as whining, barking, destructive chewing, or attempts to escape.

However, some behaviors may indicate that your puppy needs additional support. Reach out to your veterinarian if you notice:

- Self-injury from chewing, digging, or escape attempts
- Refusing food or water when alone
- Vomiting, diarrhea, or sudden regression in training
- Anxiety that persists or worsens despite consistent training

Not sure if it’s anxiety or something else? We’re here to help. Schedule a veterinary visit to discuss your puppy’s behavior and find the best way to support their well-being. 🐾
