No one enjoys visiting the dentist, it’s just a universal truth we all have to accept. But have you ever stopped to ponder what dogs think about their trips to the dentist? Most likely, they’re not too thrilled about it. It’s possible they don’t recall much due to anesthesia during cleanings, or maybe they surprisingly enjoy the sedated experience. Take a look at the amusing Corgi featured in this viral video, deeply immersed in an anesthesia-induced haze that appears to transport him to cloud nine. Check out the video from Dash & Lili The Corgis on Instagram.
From the onset of the video, it’s evident that this fluffy pup is in a world of his own, seemingly disconnected from reality. His journey could be likened to a whimsical Skittles commercial, where he’s surrounded by a sensory overload. This little furball was definitely on a wild ride! Upon returning home, he lounges on the couch in a daze, clearly not all there despite his eyes being open. His dental appointment may be over, but his trippy adventure has just begun.
His owner tries to engage with him, but he remains unresponsive – not surprising considering his altered state. However, his teeth are now sparkling clean, a major win. And let’s not forget the inevitable case of the munchies that followed once he snapped back to reality!
Many pet parents in the comments shared similar experiences after their furry companions’ dental visits. One user, dentdiva, recounted her dog’s post-cleaning stupor, noting how her pup seemed lost in another dimension.
Why Is Dental Care Important for Dogs?
Similar to humans, dogs are susceptible to dental issues that, if left untreated, can lead to serious health complications. Dental diseases can impact a dog’s overall well-being and even result in tooth loss. Periodontal disease, in particular, can cause bacterial growth and bone loss in a dog’s jaw, with the potential to spread to vital organs like the heart, kidneys, or liver.
Taking care of your dog’s teeth is crucial. Watch out for signs of dental problems, such as plaque buildup or broken teeth, and consider scheduling regular cleanings with a veterinary dentist to maintain your pup’s oral health.
The dentist will administer anesthesia during the cleaning procedure. In the event that this occurs, both of you will have an opportunity to create a humorous social media video documenting the time when your furry friend returned from the dentist perceiving all the colors of the rainbow.
