Anesthesia-free cosmetic teeth cleaning is a gentle, natural process that removes plaque and tartar from the visible surfaces of your dog’s teeth without the use of sedation or anesthesia. It’s a stress-free option for maintaining your dog’s oral health between vet visits.

Yes, it’s safe for most dogs! It’s especially ideal for older dogs, anxious pups, or those who may be sensitive to anesthesia. However, dogs with severe dental issues or significant gum disease should first consult their veterinarian.

Veterinary dental cleanings address both above and below the gum line and often include X-rays to detect underlying issues. Cosmetic teeth cleaning focuses on removing plaque and tartar from the visible surfaces of the teeth to maintain oral hygiene between vet visits.

No, the process is entirely non-invasive, and we use gentle techniques to ensure your dog feels comfortable and relaxed throughout the session.

The cleaning typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your dog’s size, temperament, and level of plaque buildup.

For most dogs, we recommend scheduling a cosmetic teeth cleaning every 6-12 months to maintain oral hygiene. This can vary depending on your dog’s diet, age, and oral health.

Your dog’s well-being is our top priority. If your dog becomes too stressed to complete the procedure, we will not charge you for the cleaning, and your $50 deposit will be refunded in full.

Absolutely! We’re experienced in handling dogs of all breeds and sizes. However, the dog must be cooperative and calm for the procedure. If your dog is extremely anxious, we can discuss options to help them feel more at ease.

Yes, we offer mobile services starting at $230, so your dog can enjoy the convenience of care at home. For more details, visit our website at www.prudentpaws.ca.

Regular cleanings help prevent plaque buildup, reduce the risk of gum disease, and keep your dog’s breath fresh. It’s an easy way to maintain their oral health and overall well-being between veterinary cleanings.

If we notice signs of advanced dental problems, such as severe gum disease or broken teeth, we’ll recommend that you consult your veterinarian for a more comprehensive examination and treatment plan.

Most dogs eat in the morning and evening so they typically do not get fed during daycare. They are occasionally given treats if marked as "allowed" on the form filled out prior to your dog's first day. If your dog requires feeding during the day, you must provide the food, and we will happily feed them (supervised and separated from the other dogs) at the instructed time.

In the event that a dog falls ill, we will promptly notify you via phone and/or email, and take necessary measures to isolate the dog from the common areas and other canine guests, depending on the nature of the illness.

On a quiet day we typically have between 3-6 dogs at once and on a busy day it can be up to 7-10

All important instructions and custom notes are marked on your client profile (Prudent Paws form) which is reviewed every time your dog attends daycare. This information is transmitted every morning to a clipboard in the daycare and emphasized verbally to our staff. This ensures they are aware of which dogs need extra attention and how they must be accommodated/treated.

At least 1 day notice is required for daycare services. At least 1 week notice is preferred for boarding to ensure availability and to prevent overbooking.
