Dental Day

Studies show that by age 2, 85% of dogs have some form of periodontal disease. Brushing your pet’s teeth is recommended daily and it’s never too late to start. Your groomer offers general tooth brushing however Natural Cleaning offers a safe alternative to the traditional anesthetic procedure.  Natural Cleaning technicians are here monthly removing plaque and tartar without the use of anesthesia. Teeth will be scaled, cleaned and polished.

New client sessions are approximately 30-40 minutes and cost $95 per pet.

Maintenance plans are also offered within three months of your initial visit. This is recommended for pets who do not allow for daily brushing or for pets that require more frequent visits. Monthly maintenance plans start at $25.
