Question 1

How much does pet dental cleaning cost in Fort Lauderdale?

Accepted Answer

CHOMP publishes totally transparent, itemized pricing: doctor exam complimentary when you proceed with recommended dental care ($50 if you do not proceed), bloodwork $150, dental cleaning $495 for cats and $595 for dogs (anesthesia, X-rays, scaling/charting/polishing), extractions $100-$200 by tooth type, Periovive $75, post-op meds $15-$30 if required. Typical core visits (blood work plus cleaning) from $645 cat / $745 dog with complimentary exam when proceeding. Save $150 on a prepaid second cleaning scheduled within 12 months of the first. Advanced cases may exceed $1,595.

Question 2

Is anesthesia safe for pet dental cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Modern veterinary anesthesia is very safe. We perform pre-procedure bloodwork and health assessments, use IV catheters and fluid therapy, and monitor vitals throughout. Anesthesia allows thorough cleaning below the gumline, dental X-rays, and pain-free treatment — which is impossible without it.

Question 3

Why choose a dental-only veterinary clinic?

Accepted Answer

CHOMP Pet Dental is South Florida's first clinic 100% dedicated to veterinary dentistry. Because we focus exclusively on dental procedures, our team completes them faster (30-90 minutes vs hours at general practices), which means less time under anesthesia and better outcomes. We also offer transparent, flat-rate pricing with no surprise bills.

Question 4

Is non-anesthetic dental cleaning effective for pets?

Accepted Answer

No. Non-anesthetic dental cleanings only address the visible tooth surface and cannot clean below the gumline where 80% of dental disease occurs. Veterinary dental specialists do not recommend them because they create a false sense of security while disease progresses unseen.

Question 5

How long does a pet dental cleaning take?

Accepted Answer

At CHOMP Pet Dental, procedures typically take 30-90 minutes depending on complexity. Our specialized focus means faster procedures than general practices, which translates to less anesthesia time and safer outcomes for your pet.

Question 6

Do you accept pet insurance for dental cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we accept most pet insurance plans. Our primary financing partner is Cherry (apply at pay.withcherry.com/chomp-pet-dental); CareCredit and other approved partners may also be available. Cost should not be a barrier to your pet's dental health.

Question 7

Can I save on a second dental cleaning at CHOMP?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For proactive pet parents who want to prevent dental disease, save $150 on your pet’s second dental cleaning when you prepay and schedule it within 12 months of the first.

Question 8

Where is CHOMP Pet Dental located?

Accepted Answer

CHOMP Pet Dental is located at 1800 E Commercial Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308. We serve pets from Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Boca Raton, Hollywood, Coral Springs, Pembroke Pines, and all of South Florida.

Question 9

How often should my pet have a dental cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Most pets benefit from annual dental cleanings. We recommend a schedule based on your pet's age, breed, and current dental health. Some pets may need more frequent cleanings, while others with excellent oral health might go longer between treatments.
