Very caring doctor for our kitten and staff as well

Scheel..dvm is absolutely rude and has no love or compassion for my dog. She was rude to me, demeaning and acted like we were at fault for her lack of skill. She should work in a warehouse by herself so as to not infect others with the bile that comes out of her mouth. It's pretty telling when the front desk staff have to apologize for her. I can't ever see myself in that building again. I'll drive out of town to take my 2 cats & 2 dogs for some decent human behavior. I started going to this business over 30 years ago but now never again. Dvm Scheel will never insult me, my wife or my pet ever again.

They were caring and showed empathy about our concerns for our cat. We did not have a long wait time to be seen which I have experienced at other vets. Caring and compassionate, highly recommend.

Front staff completely rude . Don’t go there unless you want waste 75 dollars to be pawn off to another vet for something that is advertised on the website .

Yes, we use anesthesia for dental cleanings. Tartar is made of bacteria, and when it is removed from the surface of the teeth, small pieces could be inhaled by your pet, causing a lung infection. For this and other reasons, “non-anesthetic” cleaning is NEVER recommended. Anesthesia allows us to place an endotracheal tube in the windpipe to prevent infection of the lungs. Secondly, the most important part of the cleaning is the removal of plaque and tartar under the gumline. This is not possible in a pet that is awake. And lastly, if the teeth are not polished, the cleaned surface will be rough and may actually increase the adherence of plaque to the teeth. In order to perform all of these treatments correctly, your pet must be anesthetized.
Yes, we do perform dental cleanings for both dogs and cats. A dental cleaning visit includes a dental examination, teeth cleaning, and polishing to remove the tartar and periodontal disease-causing plaque. The dental exam allow us to review with you the procedures that are likely required prior to the dental cleaning. We always perform preanesthetic blood tests to help ensure that your pet’s liver and kidney function is normal. After examining your pet’s mouth, we anesthetize your pet and scale the teeth both by hand and with an ultrasonic scaler to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline. The tartar below the gumline is important to remove because it causes the most significant periodontal disease. After we scale the teeth, we polish them to remove any microscopic scratches and reduce the rate of future plaque accumulation. We schedule dental appointments for the morning, and you pet goes home in the afternoon. You call or text us to schedule an appointment.
