Welcome to

Fur and Floss: The Veterinary
Dental Nonprofit

Fur and Floss: The Veterinary Dental Nonprofit is on a mission to bridge the gap in animal healthcare by providing high-quality dental services to pets in need. By partnering with shelters, rescues, and local communities, we ensure that dental health is never a luxury.

Born from a fusion of conservation principles and community medicine, Fur and Floss was established by a licensed veterinarian to tackle two critical issues: the silent epidemic of dental disease in animals and the sustainability crisis within the veterinary workforce. We believe that by practicing evidence-based, compassionate medicine and supporting the wellbeing of our providers, we create a healthier, more resilient future for pets and the people who care for them.
