How It Works
How Anesthesia-Free Dental Cleaning Works
From driveway to sparkling smile in about an hour — no sedation required.
Quick Answer
Our mobile unit comes to your home, where we start with a free assessment to confirm your pet is a safe, calm candidate. Trained technicians then use ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and tartar above the gumline, polish the teeth and rinse — all while your pet stays awake. The whole visit takes about an hour and ends with before-and-after photos. No anesthesia, no fasting, no recovery.

Is it safe? Is my pet a candidate?

A Note on Veterinary Care
Our service is preventive and cosmetic. It does not replace veterinary dental surgery requiring anesthesia for severe periodontal disease, loose teeth, or X-rays. We work alongside your vet to maintain your pet’s oral health.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is anesthesia-free teeth cleaning safe? +
Yes. Because there is no sedation, there is no anesthesia risk, no fasting and no recovery time. We start every visit with a free assessment and only proceed when your pet is calm and comfortable.
Does the procedure hurt? +
No. We use gentle techniques designed for comfort. If a pet shows any sign of pain, we stop immediately.
How do I know if my pet is a candidate? +
We perform a physical assessment before starting. If we find severe dental disease, we refer you to a veterinarian — our service is preventive and cosmetic, not a replacement for veterinary care.
What if my dog won't sit still? +
Safety is our top priority and we never force a procedure. If, on arrival, a pet is too aggressive or uncooperative to be treated safely, a $70 trip & assessment fee applies to cover the visit.
How much does it cost? +
Pricing is flat and based on your pet’s size — dogs from $185 and cats at $215, far below a typical veterinary dental cleaning ($600–$1,200). See our pricing page for details.
