Do you have dental anxiety? Request our therapy dog, Axl, for your next appointment.


Axl is our BHD therapy dog. He is a red miniature golden doodle and was born on May 18, 2018. He joined the Sykes Family in July 2018 and has since gone through many hours of obedience and therapy dog training. He is currently working with Paws 4 Hearts Working Therapy Dogs, a local program serving San Antonio and surrounding areas. Axl is available to provide support and encouragement for patients with dental anxiety. In his spare time, he loves taking long walks, chasing his miniature horse friends, and playing with Dr. Sykes’ children, Barrett & Zoran.
