Sedation Free Professional Dog Teeth Cleaning
About me
Welcome to Doggy Dental!
My name is Anya. I’ve been a dental hygienist for 9 years and always liked what I do. However, I never liked the aspect of working for dentists: very often, they are just so focused on making money, they use hygienists as their salespeople.
I always loved dogs. I grew up with a few dogs in the house. My parents used to have big dogs like Rottweilers, Staffordshire terriers and Cani Corso.
When I moved to the US, I’ve had a few chihuahuas. I still have a sweet chihuahua girl named Donatella.
In January 2020 I decided I didn’t want to be a dental hygienist anymore. At least, not for people…and I got an idea to combine my profession with my passion for dogs.
A lot of people told me how they hate taking their dogs to a vet for a dental cleaning because it is done under sedation and small breeds don’t take it well. There were cases where older dogs didn’t wake up after being put under anesthesia. So I decided to try cleaning dogs teeth without any sedation. I practiced on my friends dogs and they took it really well.
I really enjoy what I do now and I get a huge amount of satisfaction from my work. Seeing my clients and their pets happy makes me feel like I’m really helping them and helping animals overall.
A non-anesthetic dental cleaning is recommended for a dog that:
-
had their teeth checked with a vet and was recommended it
-
is about one year old and doesn't have periodontal disease
-
has an underlying helth condition and can't have anesthesia
-
has mild to moderate amount of build up without obvious signs of gum infection(bleeding) and bone loss (loose teeth)
-
is relatively calm, well-behaved and friendly
