Dog dental cleaning: Is new bloodwork needed? How long does it take?

Question

I plan on getting scheduling Precious for a dental cleaning procedure. However, in April she was spayed & had bloodwork done then. Would she have to get it redone? Nothing has changed as far as I can see. Also, how long does a dental cleaning take? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 years and 10 months old | 4 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Performing bloodwork would be at the discretion of the veterinarian seeing her. For a 9 year old dog (as noted in her profile), I would personally recommend bloodwork before putting her under anesthesia to make sure that her kidneys and liver are working properly. Usually a dental cleaning only takes about 15-20 minutes if no extractions are needed. Best of luck!
