what we do
Our Philosophy
Help Stop Pet Dental Pain (Pet Dental Care) was founded in 2016 to honor the life of Dr. Patricia Frost-Fitch DVM DAVDC (1952-2016) and her life’s work. An amazing women and veterinarian, Dr. Frost-Fitch spent her career advocating for the dental and overall health of pets.
Dr. Frost-Fitch’s life work was focused on veterinarian medicine and educating pet owners on how to prevent pet dental pain and make sure their pets stay healthy and happy.
Her dream manifested in 2016 with the creation of Help Stop Pet Dental Pain (Pet Dental Care). Dr. Frost-Fitch has made a major impact in the world of veterinarian medicine, and her legacy continues on today.

Dr. Patricia Frost-Fitch
Patricia Frost-Fitch, DVM, Diplomate AVDC, left us with her vision to alleviate animal pain … a big vision, to be sure. Her specific concern was about animals suffering silently with dental problems that go unseen, because no dental X-rays have ever been taken. She passionately wished to engage both the veterinary profession and animal owners as partners to promote the importance of dental X-rays.
Below we've highlighted some of the many accomplishments of Dr. Patricia Frost-Fitch.
