Happy Hounds Teeth Cleaning

01. How do you keep my dog and cat still?

This is a very good question and probably the most asked. Your pet will be positioned comfortably in our laps. Gentle relaxation techniques will calm your pet down allowing them to feel safe and comfortable. Most dogs and cats are at ease with this service however, if at any point your pet becomes uncomfortable and we can not complete the cleaning you will not be charged for your visit.

02. Does this type of cleaning hurt my pet?

Absolutely not! This is an extremely gentle procedure. We often have dogs and cats fall asleep during their cleaning.

03. How long does it take to clean my dogs or cats teeth?

Typically appointments are an hour in length. However this may vary depending on individual needs. Sometimes a longer or shorter appointment is required.

04. My dogs or cats teeth are really bad?

At your first visit we will have a thorough look at your dogs or cats teeth. Should there be any loose teeth, broken, or anything unusual we will refer you back to your vet. Sometimes it is necessary to have a cleaning done under a general anaesthetic. Other times your vet will be happy to give us the go ahead.

05. How effective is this type of cleaning?

Generally we are able to do a very thorough job cleaning all the inside and outside surfaces of the teeth along the gum line. However this type of cleaning is not for every dog. If we notice excessive build up with very loose or broken teeth, we will refer you to your vet for a deep cleaning under a general anesthetic.
