Bad breath and discolored teeth in pets are often early signs of plaque buildup and dental disease, which is why pets benefit from professional dental cleanings, just like people do. Yet most pet owners don’t get their dog’s teeth professionally cleaned and it’s understandable why. Most pet parents are terrified to put their dogs under anesthesia. While working at an animal hospital, Raysa Felix witnessed firsthand the risks associated with general anesthesia. She saw several pets develop serious complications and in a few heartbreaking cases, pass away while under anesthesia. One case deeply impacted her: a young, healthy Dachshund who died during a routine dental cleaning under general anesthesia. That experience became a turning point and inspired her to seek safer, alternative ways to help pets maintain oral health without the risks of full anesthesia whenever possible.
Raysa, who has a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from her native country, the Dominican Republic decided to start HealthySmiles Pet Dental, a non-anesthetic dental care company for cats and dogs that has been growing year over year since its inception in 2009.
