Answers to Common Questions About Our Pet Wellness Services

Learn more about gentle teeth cleaning, in-home boarding, and how we keep your pet comfortable and safe at every visit.

  • What is included in cosmetic teeth cleaning for dogs and cats?

    Our teeth cleaning includes gentle hand scaling to remove visible plaque, brushing, polishing, and a professional breath-freshening spray. We never use sedation and always focus on your pet’s comfort, using a stress-aware approach for every session.

  • How do you keep pets calm during their appointment?

    We use calming techniques like swaddling and patient handling. If a pet shows signs of stress, we pause and reassess. We aim to make every visit safe and positive for your dog or cat, especially for those who are anxious or have special needs.

  • Is this a replacement for surgery?

    No. Our cosmetic teeth cleaning is a preventative and maintenance service, not a substitute for teeth care. We work with your pet doctor and refer them if deeper treatment is needed or if issues are beyond our scope.

  • How much does dog and cat teeth cleaning cost?

    We offer a flat rate of $250 plus tax for cosmetic teeth cleaning, no matter the size or breed of your dog or cat. This covers all steps of the cleaning process and is available at our Barrie studio or through mobile service in Midhurst and Springwater.

  • What other pet care services do you offer?

    Along with teeth cleaning, we provide dog bathing, anal gland expression, nail trims, dog walking and hiking, and in-home boarding. All services are by appointment, and we focus on gentle, relationship-based care for every pet.

  • What areas do you serve and is mobile service available?

    We welcome clients from Barrie, Midhurst, Springwater and GTA. Our studio is at 18 Dufferin St, Barrie. Mobile appointments are available for teeth cleaning, nail trims, and more within these areas for your convenience.

  • Can my senior dog or medically at-risk pet receive cosmetic-free cleaning?

    Yes, our cosmetic-free approach is well-suited for seniors or pets with medical conditions that make sedation risky. If your pet is too anxious or the issue is advanced, we will recommend pet care instead.

  • What happens if my pet is too stressed or has severe teeth issues?

    If your pet becomes too stressed or if we find teeth problems beyond cosmetic cleaning, we will stop the session. Your pet’s safety comes first, and we will refer you to a pet doctor if needed. No service is ever forced.
