Tiletamine/zolazepam anaesthesia was used in twelve dogs for veterinary dentistry. The following doses were administered: - 7.5 mg/kg intravenously for forty minute-long procedures. - 5.0 mg/kg intravenously for twenty minute-long procedures. As premedication 0.1 mg/kg of atropine was subcutaneously injected. This combination is marked by its muscle-relaxing properties and the preservation of the laryngeal reflex.
