Young dogs usually don’t need teeth cleaning. Tartar typically starts developing around 2–3 years of age. If you’re unsure, stop by for a consultation — we’ll check your dog’s teeth and let you know if it’s time for a cleaning.
Yes. We work with cats as well as dogs, using the same gentle approach and adjusting the session to each pet.
Yes. If your dog is familiar with our salon and comfortable with grooming, both services can be done together. For new clients and especially anxious dogs, we recommend separate appointments to minimize stress.
It depends on your pet’s buildup and home care. Regular cleaning is most effective before tartar becomes heavy. Your groomer can recommend a schedule based on what they see.
We never force the procedure. We use short sessions, breaks, and a calm approach. If your pet is too stressed to continue safely, we stop.
We recommend soft food for the first 2–3 days. To maintain the results, provide fresh drinking water and brush your dog’s teeth with dog-safe toothpaste at least twice a week. Regular home care will help keep the teeth clean longer.
Please bring proof of current vaccinations required by our salon. Requirements may vary by pet and appointment type.
