At Pet Dental Services (PDS), we specialize in anesthesia-free dental care for dogs and cats, delivered under the supervision of licensed veterinarians nationwide. For over 25 years, we’ve worked alongside veterinary professionals to make preventive oral care more accessible, consistent, and safer for pets—without compromising standards or outcomes.
PDS is the leading non-anesthetic dental provider in the United States and the only company in our category to have completed two successful clinical studies in collaboration with board-certified veterinary dentists. These studies reinforce what veterinarians and pet owners see every day: when performed correctly and at the appropriate stage of dental disease, anesthesia-free care plays a meaningful role in maintaining oral health and supporting overall wellness.
You now have an evidence-based alternative to traditional anesthetic dental procedures for appropriate patients. Pet Dental Services partners with veterinary hospitals nationwide to provide anesthesia-free dental care as part of a comprehensive, preventive oral-health plan.
Our services are delivered under veterinary supervision using a structured, 11-step non-anesthetic dental protocol, designed to support pets with early-stage dental disease and to help extend the time between anesthetic procedures when clinically appropriate. Veterinary teams guide patient selection and oversee care, while pet parents can feel confident knowing their pet is receiving attentive, gentle treatment in a calm clinical environment.
Whether you are a veterinarian exploring non-anesthetic options for your practice or a pet owner seeking preventive dental care for your dog or cat, we invite you to learn more about our approach and determine if your pet is a candidate.
Pet Dental Services provides anesthesia-free dental care under veterinary supervision for appropriately selected dogs and cats as part of a comprehensive preventive oral-health plan. Our services are delivered through POPD™ (Professional Outpatient Preventive Dental Treatment), a trademarked, structured, 11-step non-anesthetic dental protocol designed to support pets with early-stage dental disease and, when clinically appropriate, help extend the time between anesthetic procedures. Anesthesia-free dental care is not appropriate for every pet and does not replace anesthetic dentistry when advanced disease is present.

Dental disease is one of the most common health conditions affecting dogs and cats. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, approximately 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of periodontal disease by the age of three.
The disease typically begins with plaque accumulation along the gumline, leading to gingivitis—characterized by inflammation, redness, and swelling of the gums. Without appropriate dental care, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, resulting in irreversible damage to the supporting structures of the teeth, pain, infection, and eventual tooth loss.
Early identification and consistent preventive care are essential. When addressed at the appropriate stage, dental disease can often be managed effectively before it requires more invasive intervention.
At Pet Dental Services, trained dental professionals perform comprehensive, non-anesthetic oral evaluations under veterinary supervision. During these examinations, we assess oral health, document findings, and identify concerns that may require further veterinary diagnosis or anesthetic treatment. This collaborative approach allows veterinary teams and pet owners to make informed decisions about next steps in a pet’s dental care plan.
The risk of having your pet’s teeth cleaned by an uneducated layperson with little or no formal training, and outside of a veterinary hospital, could be hazardous and even fatal for your pet. If you are aware of illegal or unlicensed dental services, please report them.

Pet Dental Services offers a structured, 11-step non-anesthetic dental service designed to support preventive oral care for appropriate patients within a veterinary hospital setting. Our program is intended to help practices address growing client demand for anesthesia-free dental options while maintaining clinical oversight and standards of care.
All services are performed under veterinary supervision with a strong emphasis on patient selection, documentation, and referral when anesthetic dental procedures or further diagnostics are indicated. Our model is designed to complement—not replace—traditional veterinary dentistry and to support continuity of care within your practice.
We encourage veterinarians to review our clinical protocols, references, and outcomes to determine whether POPD aligns with their preventive care philosophy. To learn more or discuss implementation within your hospital, please contact us at your convenience.
