Team Approach: Our veterinarians, like our hygienist are passionate about dental health

Houndstooth introduced Gentle Coaxing and Soft Touch technique for pet dental care 30+ years ago.

Our desire has always been to provide veterinarians and owners with more options to address the long-standing problem they have faced. Veterinarians are well aware of the benefits of proper oral care and how destructive  poor dental health has on vital organs and the overall quality of life for pets.

 Less disease in the mouth, less disease in the body.

We recognized the differences in veterinary clinics and designed a protocol that has a flexible approach this allows us to adjust to the needs of clinics and their patients.

What about pets with dental disease whose medical condition prevents them from undergoing corrective oral surgery? In many veterinary clinics these pets have to be ignored. We have a procedure to assist these pets, this does not provide a cure but is designed to alleviate discomfort and improve their well-being.

Our Quality-of-Life Care is specifically designed for medically compromised pets, aiming to reduce the bacterial load on their immune system. We employ our Soft Touch procedure, taking into account the sensitivity of their gums. For them we want to reduce the bacterial load to their immune system.
