One of the best things about a mobile, anesthesia-free cleaning is how little prep it takes. Here’s a simple checklist to set your pet up for a calm, easy visit.
Before the visit
- No fasting needed. Because there’s no anesthesia, your pet can eat and drink normally.
- A short walk (for dogs) can burn off nervous energy and help them settle.
- Jot down health notes — medications, conditions, or past dental issues to mention.
Set the scene
- Pick a calm, quiet room with room for the technician to work.
- Have treats ready — they’re great for rewarding calm behavior.
- Keep fresh water available.
- Reduce distractions — other excited pets or kids can make things harder.
During the visit
Your pet stays awake the whole time. A technician does a quick assessment, then gently cleans while keeping things low-stress. Most visits take about an hour. You’re welcome to stay nearby — many pets are calmer with their person in sight.
Keep the mood relaxed
Pets read our energy. If you’re calm and upbeat, your pet is more likely to be too. There’s no need to make a big deal of it — treat it like a normal, pleasant part of the day.
After the cleaning
There’s no recovery period — your pet can get right back to normal. You’ll receive before-and-after photos, and we’ll share simple tips to keep those teeth clean until next time.
That’s it — no fuss, no fasting, no clinic. Book an at-home visit or see how it works across the Bay Area.
