Dental Care Add-On

Dog Teeth Brushing in Phoenix, AZ

Five gentle minutes, $10, and noticeably fresher kisses. The easiest healthy habit you can add to any groom.

Small Add-On, Big Health Payoff

Dental disease is the most common medical condition vets see in adult dogs — and the most preventable. Plaque starts soft. Brushed away regularly, it never becomes the hardened tartar that inflames gums, loosens teeth, and leads to four-figure dental procedures. For $10 on top of any groom or bath, we make brushing a standing habit your dog actually cooperates with.

How We Brush (and Why Dogs Let Us)

  • Dog-safe enzymatic toothpaste in flavors dogs like — never human toothpaste
  • Soft-bristle brushing along the gumline, where plaque does its damage
  • Mid-groom timing — your dog is already relaxed on the table, so it feels like one more pleasant step, not a separate ordeal
  • Honest feedback — if we spot red gums, a cracked tooth, or heavy tartar, we tell you so your vet can take a look early

Fresher Breath Between Vet Cleanings

Professional veterinary cleanings handle what’s below the gumline; routine brushing keeps the surface clean between them. Dogs that get brushed at every grooming visit tend to go longer between anesthetic dentals — better for your dog and your budget. Pair it with a nail trim and your dog covers two health essentials in one appointment.

Add teeth brushing when you book online, mention it at drop-off, or just tell your groomer “add the teeth” — it’s that simple.

Good to Know

Teeth Brushing FAQs

How much does dog teeth brushing cost?

Just $10 as an add-on to any groom or bath. It takes about five minutes and uses dog-safe enzymatic toothpaste — never human toothpaste, which contains ingredients dogs shouldn’t swallow.

Is teeth brushing a replacement for a veterinary dental cleaning?

No — brushing removes plaque before it hardens, but only a vet can remove tartar below the gumline under anesthesia. Think of us as the maintenance between dental visits that helps you need them less often.

How often should my dog’s teeth be brushed?

Daily at home is the gold standard; realistically, brushing at every grooming visit plus a few times a week at home makes a big difference. By age three, most dogs already have some dental disease — regular brushing is the cheapest prevention there is.

What if my dog has never had their teeth brushed?

We introduce it gently — letting your dog taste the paste, lifting the lip, and brushing in short passes. Most dogs accept it faster than owners expect, especially in the middle of a grooming session when they’re already settled.
