For The Cats
Reimagining the feline experience
At Calico, everything we do is centered around your cat. From our first conversation, to how we greet your cat, to our clinic design, furniture, and equipment - every decision made and action taken is focused on creating a comfortable, safe, and supportive visit where your cat can be themselves.
Easing anxiety isn’t just kind, it’s also the key to better veterinary care. By alleviating veterinary-related stress as much as possible, we can provide a more thorough examination to give your cat the best care, and ultimately, the best outcome.

Our promise to you and your cat
Cats are our passion, and our mission is to provide them with expert veterinary dental care in a safe, supportive environment designed to meet their unique needs.
Patience and understanding
We take the time to understand you and your cat. Building a strong, trusting relationship sets the foundation for everything we do, and we never rush the process. We recognize that every cat has their own stress threshold and triggers, so we let them set the pace. This can mean taking short breaks, enlisting a favorite treat (did someone say Churu?), or discussing light sedation to safely complete our exam. In rare cases, we may stop and devise a plan with stress-reducing medication prior to a second visit.
A team approach
At Calico, you are a vital member of your cat’s care team. Our partnership begins the moment you first contact us and grows with every visit and phone, email, or text communication. Together, we explore possible treatment options and anticipated outcomes, and discuss the limitations of home care, to ensure you have the knowledge to make the best decision for your cat and your lifestyle.
Transparent communication
We believe in open, thorough, two-way communication. During your cat’s consultation, we listen to your concerns and expectations and answer every question so you understand the “why” behind our treatment recommendations. When it’s time for your cat’s dental procedure, we keep you informed with text and phone calls throughout their visit so you know they are safe and in the very best hands until you are reunited at the end of the day.
Advocacy for total health
It’s about more than just teeth for us. Our goal is not simply to treat the immediate dental issue, but to advocate for your cat’s whole body health. We think years ahead to anticipate and prevent future dental problems that can affect other organs, such as their kidneys or heart, or trigger total body inflammation. Whether it’s taking proactive steps to remove potentially problematic teeth, uncovering hidden systemic conditions during our pre-anesthetic workup, or recommending ongoing care to preserve oral health, we’re dedicated to protecting your cat’s health from nose to tail.
