First of all, I don't know what Cinnamon was talking about in her story. I think she made most of it up! I also went to Forever Pet Dental here in Vancouver but here's what happened to me!
Starving to Death
The first thing I have to say about dental cleaning day is that I don't like it. Why? I didn't get any breakfast. Nada! I was allowed to have water, though. Now coonhounds are creatures of habit and my habit is breakfast when I get up in the morning. Instead, I was told to get ready to leave for the dental office. So I jumped in the back of the car because that's what I do. Usually it means I'm going to day care or to the dog park so I don't mind. But that day was different.First One in the Dental Office
Well, it was only 7:15 when we went in to the dental office. They were really nice to me but didn't give me any treats. My owner had to sign some papers. I still didn't know what the office was all about. It didn't look like my vet's office so I didn't get scared. After a few minutes some other dogs came in. I didn't like it when the big one opened the door. So they waited until I was put into a room with my owner. I guess I scared them! |
| This is where I went. |
I got weighed, had my "glamor shot" taken and then they put me in a cage. I watched the other dogs do the same thing. Hmmmm. A cage. But I didn't stay in the cage long. They came to get me and shaved a patch of fur off my leg. What the heck? I soon found out. They stuck a needle in my leg!
 |
| This is what they call my Glamor Shot! But that wasn't the only shot I got! |
And then I woke up. When I woke up I was really drowsy and kinda dizzy. I don't know what happened. But they petted me and called my name and soon I was walking around, sniffing for treats and smiling at the office staff. They took me outside to walk a little and go potty.
They all told me how good I had been. Good at what, I thought. I didn't remember anything at all.
Before and After Shots - The Big Reveal
Soon my owner came and they showed her these pictures. These were labeled before:
 |
| You can see the calculus on my teeth and I had some sore gums. |
 |
| These really needed a cleaning! |
These were labeled after:
 |
| This shows how beautiful and white my teeth ended up. |
 |
| This shows how weird and crooked my teeth are. I have a severe over bite. |
After the consultation with the veterinarian, we gathered all the papers and went home and then... I GOT TO EAT DINNER!
After that I went to sleep and slept very, very well. The next day I felt better and asked Cinnamon why she wrote the article about space aliens because I sure never saw any at the dentists office!
Love, Francesca
