Whiskers Animal Dentistry & Oral Surgery

I have a special needs dog that was born with an incomplete snout and a cleft palette. Her birth defects led to many dental issues over the years. Recently, she was in need of an extensive dental exam and possible extractions. My vet highly recommended Dr. Carter at Whiskers to do a thorough cleaning and exam of her very complicated mouth and dental issues. Dr. Carter did an examination and x-rays, turns out she needed 6 teeth extracted that were either cracked or rotten with infected tissue surrounding the teeth. I went ahead with the procedure and cleaning and was very pleased from start to finish with Dr. Carter, Heather, and the staff at Whiskers! Top notch care and service was given all the way through. Dr. Carter was very good at explaining the procedures step by step and also checked in by phone later in the evening to be sure that Shasta was doing well after a big day of oral surgery. Being a small business owner myself, I feel that care and excellent customer service are extremely important...I definitely felt both of those qualities from everyone at Whiskers! I also appreciated how clean their facility was...and love the wall art of the staff's pets on the lobby walls ~ very fun idea! I am happy to report that my sweet girl, Shasta, is feeling great now that she has had a good cleaning and that those yucky teeth are gone! I highly recommend Whiskers!

We have taken both our dogs in for cleaning and treatment, very impressed with the level of professionalism and care given to our pets. Dr, Clark and staff are great about questions and keeping us up to date when our dogs were being treated. We plan on returning for more cleanings in the future.

Everyone at Whiskers Animal Dentistry and Oral Surgery is professional, kind, and great communicators. My cat, Mr Biggs was diagnosed by a local veterinarian, Dr Hertzel, to have all of his teeth to be extracted. Dr Carter put my mind at ease and assured me that he commonly performs this type of surgery. The surgery was exactly as Dr Carter described and after two weeks of recovery, I’d say Mr Biggs is living a better life than ever before. Everyone working there has a love for animals and it is easy to notice. ❤️ Thank you!!

I cannot express my recommendation for Whiskers Animal Dentistry & Oral Surgery strongly enough. Both Dr. Carter and his dedicated team went the extra mile to ensure a comforting and positive experience for me and my dog, Bruno. Bruno was savagely attacked and nearly killed by another dog. Among his severe injuries was a broken jaw, requiring immediate emergency surgery. Dr. Carter didn't waste a moment and took swift action. Grasping the urgency of the situation, he managed to get Bruno into surgery without delay the same day. Throughout this challenging time, all our inquiries and worries were met with patience and clarity, making me feel incredibly fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Carter at Whiskers. Their exceptional service is something I can't thank them enough for. The transparency of their pricing structure stood out to me, proving to be incredibly reasonable and competitive. Their detailed step-by-step explanations of what to expect provided me with a sense of comfort and trust. I was confident that Bruno was in the safest and most capable hands. I will always be grateful to Dr. Carter and his entire team. Without their compassionate and exceptional service, Bruno might not have pulled through.

We took our cat to Whiskers. We cannot begin to tell you how appreciative we are to Dr. Carter and ALL the staff we encountered. Dr. Carter first did a consult, taking pictures of our boys mouth. From there he gave us an education on what was happening in his mouth. He had dentals prior but not for a couple of years due to being diagnosed with diabetes and then Acromegaly and treatment at UCD for his condition. After the consultation we set up an appt for surgery which unfortunately was most likely a full teeth extraction. Dr. Carter explained not only what was happening in his mouth but also gave us a low to high estimate for the work. A full mouth extraction was completed without any complications. Within in a few days our boy was back to himself, and eating wet food without a problem. He has healed well and on f/u got a clean bill of heath as far as his dental. The staff were professional, courteous and friendly. We came in at the high end of the estimate due to needing all his teeth removed, but we had been prepared. The whole ordeal was not cheap but would do it all over if need be. You will not be disappointed going to Whiskers for your pets dental health where you and your pet will receive excellent care. The patient definitely comes first. Attached is a pic of Handsome Harry
