Plaque is a sticky substance comprised of bacteria, saliva, and food particles, that forms several hours after a dog eats and accumulates on their teeth. If it isn’t removed, this plaque starts to harden by combining with the salts found in saliva. As plaque continues to harden and mineralize, it turns into tartar. Tartar is a porous, rough substance that can form above and below a dog’s gumline.

As tartar forms its rough surface, it gives bacteria places to hide and grow. This bacteria can cause a condition called gingivitis (early-stage gum disease). If gingivitis goes untreated, it can turn into periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is the most advanced stage of gum disease where the gums become even more painful, inflamed, and start to recede, which could eventually result in loose and missing teeth.

Don’t wait to schedule your dog’s teeth cleaning!

This is Valkyrie, she’s SO kind and gentle. Tinkerbell (yesterday’s post) is her sister 😍 She is 2 years and had great, cleaned teeth!
Veterinarians recommend that most dogs should have their first dental cleaning around 2 years of age. However, small breed dogs should start no later than two years of age, as they are more prone to dental problems. Just like humans it all depends, some build more tartar than others and might need earlier or more frequent cleanings so check your dog’s teeth! 🦷

Hiiii! My name is Lucy and this is my pride and joy, Cosette. She’s the reason I chose to learn and get trained on how to clean dog teeth without anesthesia. The thought of her needing anesthesia for her teeth to get cleaned, was not something I wanted or was willing to put her through. My love for her and dogs in general comes through in my interactions with them.

The comfort and safety of your dog is my #1 priority.

Holaaaaa! Me llamo Lucy y ella es Cosette, mi orgullo y felicidad. Ella es la razón por la cual decidí aprender y entrenar para limpiar los dientes de los caninos sin usar anestesia. Al pensar que ella necesitaría someterse a la anestesia para limpiarle los dientitos no es algo que quería contemplar ni hacer. El amor que le tengo a ella y a todos los caninos, sale a relucir en cualquier interacción que tengo con ellos.

La comodidad y seguridad de tu canino es mi prioridad #1.

This is Yen. Don’t let those eyes in the first picture fool you, he wasn’t nervous, he just wanted to see what other dog had walked in during his cleaning. How dare they interrupt his session! 🤭
