No fur. No paws. No service.

Notes on non-anesthetic cleaning: WE DO NOT OFFER THIS!!!

In regards to full dental scalings/cleanings:

The pet dental cleaning (the removal of calculus and plaque) done by unlicensed persons without supervision by a veterinarian is illegal in Oregon, and some claims made by people doing the dental cleaning are deceptive. It is fraudulent to claim that the cleaning done by an unsupervised lay person is the same as professional dental cleaning at a veterinary practice. While cleaning the surface of the teeth may improve appearance and sometimes helps to improve the animal's breath, underlying problems will be masked. It is possible to damage the enamel surface of the teeth and accelerate the build up of plaque and tartar. In general, the superficial cleaning causes a false sense of the pet's health, and the consumer does not see the need for regular dental examination by a veterinarian. It takes years for the neglect of teeth and gums to surface, and by the time the consumer sees the effect of the neglect it is too late.
California has cracked down on these businesses in their state. Ask yourself this, Would you go to an unsupervised, untrained, and unlicensed person for your own, or your children's, dental care?

The ONLY alternative we will recommend is award winning PetZlife. This is an all natural gel or spray that will clean teeth with consistent use.
Has proven to:
*Remove tartar and plaque
*Eliminate bad breath
* Reverse gingivitis
* Increase pets life



Petlife treatment

I use and now carry Petzlife. This is an amazing new product that removes tartar and plaque build up over time. It is easy to use and most dogs do not mind it. It is a simple spray in the mouth or a dot on a toothbrush or your finger. This is offered as an add on service. The cost is $15 for the first application and tooth brush and $10 for subsequent applications. I offer the gel and spray for at home treatment as well. Best results are seen when applied daily at home.











 

These are examples of Petzlife paired with routine brushing, weekly wiping with gauze, and good diet. The time frame was 6-8 months and these are severe cases.
