Here at The Strand Vet, we are passionate about dental care. As a holistic clinic, which means we always look at the health of the whole animal, the mouth plays a very important role as dental disease can lead to problems with organs, such as the heart and kidneys. Preventative health care is key - and for dental care this means a solid routine of home care and tackling any dental problems early on. We recommend regular check-ups and offer this in our Pet Project Wellness Plan packages, along with providing advice and tips on home care.
If your pet does require dentistry, we are fully equipped to provide a comprehensive service with a full oral exam, dental radiographs and SANOS dental sealant. We are even able to provide restorative dental treatments such as bone grafting and enamel repair, working closely with veterinary dental specialists to ensure the best outcomes for your pet.

As firm believers in multi-modal pain relief, we are proud to offer laser therapy as part of our comprehensive pain management plans. Laser therapy makes it possible to concentrate and transfer a very high quantity of energy into a specific area. Our cells receive this energy, which enables them to carry out biological functions in a shorter time span and with very high efficacy. This process translates into a quicker recovery, and decrease in pain, inflammation and swelling.
Pet laser therapy is applicable in many conditions, including arthritis, spinal injuries, wounds, skin infections, dental problems and after surgery. Laser is non-invasive, not painful, and usually very well tolerated by both dogs and cats. Here at The Strand Vet all our veterinarians and veterinary nurses are fully trained to use our K-Laser device as part of your pet’s treatment plan.
Many pets suffer from feline arthritis and canine arthritis, whether it arises from developmental disease or from athletic injury and ongoing wear and tear.
Other factors such as genetics, infection and weight may contribute to the problem, but in the end, whatever the cause, the treatment regime is always the same. We manage the pain. This takes an individual and multimodal approach.
