Dentals
Healthy teeth and gums for a long and happy life for your four-legged friend.
Our dental services
The oral hygiene of animals is essential for their well-being. Although regular teeth cleaning by you is beneficial, it is not enough, as areas under the gums often remain unreached. As a result, four-legged friends can develop dental diseases such as periodontal disease and gingivitis caused by tartar. These diseases can lead to pain, inflammation, and tooth loss and cause serious organ damage. That is why we recommend professional teeth cleaning every 2-3 years.
Teeth cleaning
Similar to us humans, the oral hygiene of furry noses contributes to their general well-being. Regular teeth cleaning by you as an animal owner is important and helpful, but - as with us humans - it is not completely sufficient, as certain areas (e.g. under the gums) are not completely reached. Animals can therefore also develop dental diseases such as periodontal disease and gingivitis, which are caused by the deposition of tartar on the teeth and adjacent to the gums. Over time, these illnesses can lead to pain, inflammation, infection, tooth decay, and loss of teeth or bone. In the worst case, the bacteria can also enter the bloodstream and attack organs such as the heart, liver and kidneys. For most four-legged friends, we therefore routinely recommend professional teeth cleaning every 2-3 years.
Dental surgery
If necessary, we carry out tooth extractions and removal of tartar to maintain your pet's dental health and eliminate pain. Our digital dental X-ray device enables us to provide reliable diagnostics and targeted therapy.
How does the dental cleaning process work at filu?
The first step is to get into practice with your four-legged friend for a preliminary discussion. You can easily make an appointment online or by phone. In the practice, we carry out a preliminary examination of the teeth, make sure that your darling is fit for anesthesia and tell you the exact procedure of the treatment. We also take time to answer all of your questions. On the day of treatment, we first start with careful tooth cleaning to carefully remove tartar both above and below the gum line. In the second step, we gently polish your pet's teeth. Polishing removes irregularities in tooth enamel and prevents the formation of plaque and tartar in the future. (Without polishing, microabrasions remain on the teeth and thus promote the formation of new dental plaque). Your filu vet will then thoroughly examine your pet's teeth for deeper cavities, fractures and other causes that may cause toothache. X-rays can be performed if necessary to ensure that no dental problems are hidden in depth. If a tooth extraction is necessary, it can be performed directly during the same procedure. During the entire procedure, your four-legged friend is under anesthesia and is therefore not aware of the procedure - our team will of course carefully monitor your pet until he is fully awake again.
Why should you have filu do your pet's teeth cleaning?
filu is a newly established veterinary practice that is at the cutting edge of technology. In our separate dental surgery area, we not only have the best equipment, but filu's veterinarians also have special know-how. We always make sure that your four-legged friend is in a pleasant atmosphere and can wake up from anesthesia relaxed and optimally cared for. It is particularly important to us that you and your pet feel comfortable. That is why we discuss the treatment with you in detail in advance and also give you transparency about the costs. We will take time to answer all your questions. Our medical team has many years of clinical experience and specializes in dental treatments. In addition, we attach great importance to the continuous training of our team in order to offer your four-legged friend the best possible, up-to-date medical care.
I regularly brush my pet's teeth - does it still need a dental cleaning?
It's great if you're already brushing your pet's teeth regularly. If you have any questions about it, we'd be happy to show you again how best to brush your pet's teeth. This reduces the amount of tartar, plaque, and harmful bacteria in your pet's mouth but does not completely eliminate them. It's similar to us humans - even with regular tooth brushing and flossing, we should undergo dental cleanings regularly. Our experienced team can also clean hard-to-reach places and check and treat for cavities, fractures, and other dental problems.
My pet has persistent bad breath - will a dental treatment help?
Bad breath is a typical sign of a dental or oral cavity disease but can also have other causes. Your veterinarian will discuss with you other possible reasons if the bad breath does not improve despite dental treatment.
Will my pet be put under anesthesia during the treatment?
Yes - only under anesthesia can a thorough and, most importantly, pain-free cleaning of the teeth be carried out. We understand that anesthesia can be concerning. However, we assure you that this is a standard procedure and should not cause worry. Our anesthesia protocol is very gentle, and your beloved pet will be optimally monitored at every stage. It is far riskier for your pet to forego regular dental treatment. As with any anesthesia, we will thoroughly examine your pet before a dental treatment and perform a blood analysis to ensure that your furry friend is not at risk for anesthesia. If there are doubts about your pet's suitability for anesthesia, your veterinarian will inform you and discuss suitable alternatives with you.
How much does a dental treatment cost?
The costs may vary depending on the scope. In the preliminary discussion, we will show you the costs based on the initial examination and discuss them with you transparently.
How long does a dental treatment take?
Typically, the treatment lasts between 45 - 90 minutes, depending on whether additional measures, such as taking X-rays or performing tooth extractions, are necessary. After assessing the status of the teeth in the preliminary examination, we will inform you in advance at the practice about the approximate duration of the procedure and let you know as soon as your pet can go home with you. In the meantime, your beloved animal can wake up relaxed here and will be well cared for until you pick it up.
How often should I have a dental treatment done?
Generally, it is advisable to have dental treatment at least every 2-3 years. However, this can vary depending on the age, breed, and condition of the teeth. If you are unsure whether your pet's teeth need treatment, simply speak directly to one of our veterinarians - we are happy to advise you.
Why pet parents and furry friends love us
I am 100% satisfied with the overall performance of the practice team and the atmosphere on site. A warm-hearted environment and the friendly staff made the visit a really pleasant experience. My cat Arnie, 21.5 years old, was there as a patient and was taken to a special cat room to have a relaxed atmosphere (pleasant room scent concept). He was given time to walk around and acclimatize. A really great practice. The medical advice and implementation were also very good and gave my hangover another chance. Advice for at home and telephone follow-up care were also provided. Just great. Always just go there.
I was there because of Bonnie's problem. She had hip/lower back problems and received immediate help, with no waiting time. The staff and the vet were very friendly. The vet explained everything clearly and understandably. He was also very gentle with the dog. Excellent service and not expensive.
The practice is excellently equipped and offers everything you need to provide the best care for your beloved pets. The waiting times are short and the organization is top notch. The team is extremely friendly and competent and ensures that both the animals and the owners feel comfortable. What's particularly worth mentioning is how friendly the team is and how much time they spent with my crazy cat. If you are looking for a sensitive and professional veterinary practice, you have come to the right place!
We had to use the emergency service from this practice today, and what can I say. It's just great!!! Not only that we received a great welcome and reception. No, they really put a lot of effort into us and our dog. It was truly a really great experience with you (for humans and dogs). We will come more often now, maybe not on emergency duty ;) but definitely at normal times. You can only be recommended! From start to finish, a 10 out of 10. Thank you !!!
Very friendly, professional, and competent. Fast online booking, transparent costs. My cats are finally in good hands.🙏 This veterinary practice isn't about money, but about the well-being of the animals.♥️🫶🐱
We were there today with our little Labrador puppy. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Poppy felt incredibly comfortable, got her vaccinations without any problems, and then felt so comfortable that she immediately fell asleep on the floor.
A super relaxed atmosphere, excellent value for money, and extremely competent treatment and advice. I wanted to have my German Shepherd mix's teeth cleaned and the discoloration removed. I was told that this wasn't necessary and that simple brushing would suffice. The second visit was for the standard annual vaccination. Once again, everything went perfectly. I'll definitely be back.
Great experience! We were there for emergency service on Saturday. Booking an appointment was super quick and without any problems. The whole team was super nice! On Tuesday we were there again and everything possible was done to help our dog. The vet also made sure that she didn't remember the examination as a bad event. We will now switch to this practice as our regular practice😊
I am completely satisfied with this veterinary practice! The care is always professional and warm. I particularly appreciate the uncomplicated scheduling of appointments, so that you can get help quickly even with acute concerns. The entire team is friendly, competent and treats the animals lovingly. My dog Holly clearly feels at home there and as the owner I am happy to know that she is in such good hands. Absolute recommendation!
I was rushed in with my dog for a small emergency appointment at 7:30 p.m. We had a tick on my dog's eye and unfortunately we couldn't get it removed ourselves. The staff on the phone in the practice and the attending veterinarian were really very friendly and gave me such a great welcome that I didn't know from other practices at this time 😅. I was given great information and definitely found a new vet. Super great, thank you everyone!
Went here with my cat for several issues, so far the best Veterinary in Dusseldorf , would recommend 10/10.
We booked an emergency appointment on Friday afternoon and got a very good treatment and got squeezed into their busy schedule and luckily the bill wasn't as high as it usually is in such cases. Really great. Not to mention the whole ambiance of the place and everything being handled digitally (booking, payment, invoice).
Get an appointment within 1 hour. Super nice, competent doctor, explained everything in detail, didn't immediately prescribe antibiotics, but suggested alternatives. The ladies at reception are very friendly and treat the animals really well. We'd love to come back.
I've been to filu twice so far for my cat's acute problems, and I've been completely satisfied both times. Appointments are quick, depending on the urgency, and from the initial consultation to the treatment, all the staff are incredibly friendly. Both the doctors and assistants were competent, took plenty of time, and explained all the treatment options. The prices are absolutely fair for what's offered. The facilities are also beautifully designed.
Amazing service. I took my young cocker spaniel Otto and the vets were so attentive and professional with deep specialisms. The clinic is also very beautifully designed and it is great that you can book online and there are extended opening hours.
Very clean and pleasant environment. Friendly staff. Everyone was very gentle with our extremely anxious dog. The doctor spent more than an hour with us. We never felt rushed and he answered all of our questions and concerns.
This Praxis is really great. My dog had surgery here and everything went just perfect. The doctor is very competent, explained me everything and answered all my questions. I had a feeling that the dog is in good hands. And I was right. People I communicated with are very kind and friendly. Plus, it’s very beautiful and cozy place. Even though I wish your pet doesn’t need a doctor, but if you have to, I recommend you go to this Praxis. Thank you, filu!
This is by far the very best veterinary office I have ever visited with my little pup. I still cannot believe the service, level of care, professionalism and deep understanding of my dachshund’s needs that the team has demonstrated during my two-hour visit with him. The facility and cleanliness are among the chicest I have come across and rivals any Apple Store. I wish us humans had doctors offices that looked and functioned like this! I hope your pet never needs a vet visit, but if it does, go here in Munich!! 10/10
Very nice place, highly professional doctors who keen to help but not to take more money from you. I urgently needed help for my cat. They gave me appointment in couple of hours in the same day. Doctor Rotem Freilich was very professional and kind. Instead of offering each and every test he made only necessary things and set up therapy plan. It helped in the same day and my cat started to recover very fast. It was on Saturday but the price was very conservative compared to what it could be on weekends. Thank you! Highly recommend!
I found filu through Google Maps for an emergency service for my anxious dog, as it was Saturday and our regular vet was closed. At filu they listened, treated my dog perfectly, observed him and discharged him with ultimate carefulness. They were kind not only to him but also to me in a challenging situation. Highly recommend!
Best vet practice! Everyone is incredibly sensitive and friendly! Great feel-good atmosphere! I would recommend this practice to everyone. You always get an appointment super quickly and there are virtually no waiting times. Thank you for your great work, both vets and the team!
Thank you so much for the great experience. Online appointment scheduling is great. I was warmly welcomed and the rooms are beautiful and modern. The team treated my cat very well. I can recommend the practice:)
I got an appointment for my dog at very short notice (as a new patient) because she wasn't feeling well at all. We were treated well and competently. In addition, this is the first vet where my dog was not afraid and even went to the treatment table of his own accord. We love staying patients here!
I have been with filu with my dog Zeus since he was a puppy and can heartily recommend this veterinary practice. Everyone there is very nice and friendly with the animals, whether they are vets or nurses. By the way, the practice is super clean and ultra-modern. Unfortunately, my dog had to have fairly invasive surgery early on as a puppy and everything worked out wonderfully there! Absolute recommendation, always happy to come back here.
Starting with the easy parking facilities, you can look forward to very friendly and competent staff, as well as very clean and modern facilities. The long journey was worth it. humans and pets really feel at home here.
Great wonderful practice, super friendly staff, great vet who hasn't lost touch with the animal at all. Were there for an emergency on a Saturday evening and there was a special wait for us. Emphatic & competent — an absolute recommendation from the heart.
