About This Service

Dental Care & COHAT Cleanings

A COHAT, or comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment, allows our team to clean below the gumline and assess areas that cannot be evaluated during an awake exam.

We explain findings clearly and send home practical instructions so recovery and prevention feel manageable.

What this care often includes

  • Oral health assessment
  • Professional cleaning under anesthesia
  • Home-care guidance

Care at both VMC locations

This service is available through our Fort Thomas and Independence teams. Call first if your pet is sick, painful, or experiencing symptoms that may need urgent triage.
