At-home Cat Dental care
No stress, just Convenience
Is your cat suffering from bad breath or showing signs of plaque and tartar buildup? These could be early warning signs of dental and gum disease. If left untreated, bacteria from plaque can not only damage your pet’s teeth but also enter their bloodstream, potentially harming vital organs like the kidneys, heart, and liver.
Dental disease is incredibly common in cats—second only to ear infections—and can be just as painful for them as it would be for us. Preventing it is key to keeping your pet healthy and comfortable!
We’re excited to offer professional dental scaling in the comfort of your home. Using advanced ultrasonic scalers, we’ll gently remove plaque and tartar both above and below the gum line. Your pet will be carefully sedated for their comfort throughout the procedure.
As part of the service, our vet will conduct a thorough oral exam and provide you with a detailed report on your pet’s dental health, highlighting any potential concerns.
Let us help you keep your pet’s smile bright and healthy—book a dental scale and polish at home today! 🐾🦷
Preventative Dental Care for Cats: Protect Their Smile & Health
In the wild, cats would naturally clean their teeth by chewing on bones or grass, but domestic cats often miss out on these natural behaviours. Since animals can’t verbally communicate when they’re in pain or feeling unwell, it’s up to us to develop proactive health routines—especially when it comes to their oral care.
Regularly checking your cat’s teeth and gums is essential to ensure they stay healthy. Did you know that 8 out of 10 cats over the age of three experience teeth and gum problems? Cats often accumulate bacteria, food debris, and plaque on their teeth, which hardens into tartar over time. This tartar can irritate the gums, leading to gingivitis, and, if left untreated, may even cause tooth loss. In severe cases, the buildup of tartar can become so extensive that it requires tooth extraction to relieve pain.
Pain and inflammation in a cat’s mouth can make eating and drinking difficult, and the bacteria in the mouth can enter their bloodstream, potentially damaging vital organs like the kidneys and heart.
This ongoing destruction of teeth and gums is known as periodontal disease—the most common dental issue in adult cats. The good news is that periodontal disease is largely preventable with regular care.
To keep your cat’s mouth (and overall health) in top shape, a combination of at-home dental care and annual veterinary checkups is crucial. By staying on top of their dental health, you’re not just protecting their teeth—you’re ensuring their long-term wellbeing. 🐾🦷

Signs You Should Schedule a Cat Dental Cleaning
Maintaining your cat’s dental health is crucial to their overall wellbeing. Regular tooth brushing and scheduling professional cleanings with your vet are key steps in prevention. An annual veterinary check-up is also essential for spotting any potential dental issues early on.

- Bad breath
- Visible tartar buildup or red gums
- Drooling
- Bleeding from the mouth
- Pawing at the face, shaking the head, or teeth chattering
- Facial swelling or nasal discharge
- Dropping food or changes in appetite
- Difficulty swallowing
- Weight loss

Don’t just take our word for it. Here are some Pawssum reviews from happy customers.
Excellent service – very professional with great admin!
| We were so happy with the visit from Ben the vet in Sydney, he was extremely understanding of our very nervous cat. I am full of praise for the efficiency of the service, and will certainly be using the service again. So good too to receive a written report from the vet as it’s easy to forget some of his advice. Brilliant service. |
