Does your dog need anesthesia for dental care? Does your pet need x-rays of their teeth? In this episode, Dr. Thomson explains why your veterinarian recommends a COHAT, comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment, to keep your pet's mouth healthy, as well as the risks associated with cosmetic, nonanesthetic dental cleanings.
