Welcome to Doggy Dental!

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.
