Teeth Cleaning FAQ’s

teeth-heart-pet-dental-cleaning

You can often tell your dog or cat needs teeth cleaning by signs such as bad breath, yellow or brown tartar buildup, red or inflamed gums, and visible plaque along the gum-line. Other common indicators include drooling, pawing at the mouth, difficulty chewing, or dropping food while eating. In some cases, pets may also become less interested in hard food or chew on only one side of their mouth. Regular pet dental checks and professional no sedation teeth cleaning or a sedative service at your veterinary can help prevent these issues from progressing into painful dental disease.

We take cues from your pet and do not charge if we are unable to start working with your anxious pet. If you book an appointment and decide to cancel it after consultation our fee is $50 and the same fee is charged if we have to break up your appointment due to anxiety. This gives your pet 2 hours with us rather than 1 hour.

We will have your pet for about 45 minutes. This gives us time to introduce ourselves, our tools and get them comfortable without their pet parents.

Included in our session:

  • Removal of tartar, plaque & calculus
  • Brush & polish teeth, stains & gums
  • Laser to reduce existing inflammation
  • Pet report card and review of session

Originally our owner obtained training in the United States at the only state Vet taught, academically recognized, and accredited training program. The program focuses specifically on No Sedation Pet Teeth Cleaning. Today our pet teeth techs are hired based on expertise in the Veterinary field and pet handling experience. They then are certified in pet first aid are given extensive fear free behaviour training, as well are put through the same US training program.

Regular dog and cat teeth cleaning helps prevent plaque, tartar buildup, bad breath, gum disease, and painful dental infections that can affect your pet’s overall health. Keeping your pet’s teeth clean supports healthier gums, fresher breath, and improved comfort while eating and playing. Routine preventative pet dental care is one of the best ways to support your dog or cat’s long-term health and wellbeing.

During our No Sedation Pet Teeth Cleaning Service your dog or cat should not experience any pain. We are scaling off plaque teeth surfaces just like you humans have experienced.

We rely on our ‘pet-whispering’ skills to establish a trusting relationship with each animal and at the same time use gentle relaxation techniques, which allows the pet to feel safe and comfortable. Even fussy pets with challenging personalities are usually very cooperative. On the rare occasion, but it does happen, some may even fall asleep.

Yes, we provide professional no-sedation dental services across various partner locations in British Columbia (including Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Victoria and Naniamo and other cities on Vancouver Island, Kelowna and other areas in the Okanagan) and Alberta (including Calgary and Edmonton). Check our locations page for the latest schedule.

Pets that are not good candidates for no sedation teeth cleaning include those with severe dental disease, broken or infected teeth, significant pain, or advanced periodontal conditions that require veterinary anesthesia and medical treatment such as antibiotics.

We also may not be able to safely treat pets that are extremely anxious, aggressive, or unable to comfortably tolerate handling during the process. Very young, very elderly, or pets with certain underlying health conditions may require a veterinary assessment before proceeding. In these cases, we will always recommend a veterinarian’s care first to ensure the pet receives the safest and most appropriate treatment.

Our service is an anesthesia-free, cosmetic, and preventative cleaning that focuses on removing plaque and tartar above and just below the gum-line. While we are not veterinarians and do not perform x-rays, extractions or surgery, we provide a "Pet Report Card" to help you monitor your pet's oral health between vet visits.

This special puppy introduction session (12 months and under) is designed to help your little furball get used to cuddles, mouth touching, and toothbrushing in a positive and playful environment.

Here's what we have in store:

  • 30 minutes of playful interaction: We’ll get to know your puppy, introducing them to our services with gentle care.
  • Plaque Scaling: We’ll gently scale any plaque to ensure those little teeth stay sparkling clean.
  • 15-minute teeth brushing: We’ll show you how to brush your puppy’s teeth, making sure they feel comfortable and confident.

Our goal is to make your puppy feel right at home with us and ensure they enjoy their grooming routine. We can’t wait to meet your bundle of joy and start this exciting journey together!

Don't let the name Dashing Dogs Dental fool you. We also offer cat teeth cleaning! We take extra care with our feline friends and have extensive experience working with cats to make sure the process is comfortable and stress free as possible.

We only accept cats in their crate, soft shelled carrier or in a harness and leash. We can only accept cats that are fully secure. Appointments take about 30 minutes.

Yes. Because we do not use anesthesia, our cleaning process is a lower-risk alternative for senior dogs and cats, or pets with medical conditions like heart murmurs. We also use cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing in older gums.

All of our tools used for no sedation pet teeth cleaning are properly cleaned and sterilized between every appointment to maintain the highest hygiene standards. We follow strict veterinary-grade sanitation protocols, including disinfecting and sterilizing equipment to help prevent cross-contamination and keep pets safe. This ensures every dog and cat receives care with clean, safe, and properly maintained instruments. Maintaining a sterile environment is a key part of our commitment to professional and safe pet dental care.

Most dogs and cats benefit from professional teeth cleaning every 6 to 12 months, depending on their age, diet, breed, and how quickly plaque and tartar build up. Some pets with higher risk of dental disease may need more frequent no sedation pet teeth cleaning to maintain healthy gums and prevent bad breath or infection.

At home care, such as dental chews or brushing, can help extend the time between professional cleanings. Regular pet dental check-ups are the best way to determine the right cleaning schedule for your individual pet. Our after visit report card will review our return rate recommendations as well as your veterinary during your check-up visits.

We prioritize a "Fear Free" approach. Our dental technicians are trained in calm handling techniques and we never force a pet to continue if they are showing signs of high anxiety. If your pet is not a suitable candidate for no-sedation dental cleaning, there is no charge for the appointment.

Our appointments book up quickly and we as you to cancel your appointment 24 hours prior to your appointment to avoid our $50 cancellation fee. If you were to not show up our 'no show fee' will apply in the amount of $100.
