Does dog teeth cleaning hurt? - there should be no pain and minimal discomfort when teeth cleaning,you are advised of any jeopardised teeth that are not safe to work on.

Does my dog need sedation? - NO, not with me, HOWEVER if the teeth are in a very degraded state I will advise you that a full veterinary dental clean/extractions is the only option for the dogs comfort.

How long does it take? -Dental cleaning takes approx 60-90 mins according to issues presented and your dogs tolerance.

What happens if my dog won't cooperate?- Where possible I work with your dog to become accustomed to the procedure, in a calm kind manner, doing short sessions instead of one complete session if needed. Most dogs take the treatment very well, but there will always be some, that for various reasons, are not possible to work on safely.

Can you clean under the gum line?- Yes and No, treating the gumline can be problematic for some conditions, though sonic treatments if consistent will clean the gumline and promote gum health.

How often should my dog's teeth be cleaned?- Again, it depends a lot on your dog and if you brush your dogs teeth, but most have a dental hygienist sessions anywhere from several a month to every 3-6 months.

Can you clean a nervous/reactive dog?- Mostly YES, I take as much time and patience as is required, and let the dog express their fears rather than try to force them through the process. I use various methods to safely work with a potential biter, but ultimately if it is not safe to continue I will advise as such.

What happens during a dental clean?- Generally speaking, it starts with assessment of teeth and dog reaction, then sonic treatment that starts to break down plaque on the tooth surface, then sonic or manual plaque and tartar removal if possible and comfortable for the dog, ending with manual brushing and breath fresh treatment.

Do you do puppies?- Yes, it is never too early to start accustoming a dog to having their teeth cleaned, but I do not use sonic treatments on dogs under 1 year old.

Do you clean cats?- not at the present time.

What areas do you cover?-Please refer to map of covered areas above.

Do you offer home visits?- Yes, all treatments whether Dental or remedial grooming are done in your own home so the pet is as relaxed as possible.

How much does it cost?- price can vary according to service offered- please enquire for cost according to your needs.

What payment methods do you accept?- I accept cash, card payments, and bank transfers.

What if my dog has severe tartar?- Always consult your vet in the first instance, they will advise if a home dental clean is a possibility for your dog.

When should my dog see a vet instead?- A veterninary dental clean will always be more thorough due to them having unfettered access to the whole mouth because the animal is sedated, however that can carry some risks to older animals or those with existing health issues, and doesn't accustom the dog to the procedure of maintenance cleaning. If I believe your dog needs more treatment than I can reasonably offer due to possible pain or exposed roots for instance, I will make you aware.
