Gentle Pet Dental Care
Your fur babies need regular dental check-ups and cleanings, similar to us humans. Just like us, bad oral health care can cause other health related issues in the future. Some breeds are more prone to periodontal diseases than others, and therefore need a little more extra care.
Pet Dental Diseases
There are different types of health problems that are caused by a dog’s lack of oral health. Plaque build-up and inflammation of the periodontal tissues, are just some of the more common problems.
What does anesthesia free-dental mean?
Anesthesia-free pet dental are pet dental cleanings without sedation. There is no down-time or chemicals involved.
Many have asked us if this is effective and safe. It is safe, especially for older dogs who might have an adverse reaction to the anesthesia.
We use instruments much like human dentists, removing plaque and calculus from your pet’s teeth. We may at times polish with a special paste. This smooths out scratches to the tooth enamel.
It is recommended that you do schedule a yearly visit with your veterinarian and consider this as an add on service.We are often times referred by veterinarians, especially for some of their more sensitive and older clients.
Likewise, we can always refer you a reliable veterinarian in your area. We like to be transparent, this type of pet dental cleaning should be used as an add on to your annual vet visit. It does not replace it.
What is Plaque?
Plaque forms when your pet eats. Consequently, it mixes with the natural chemicals in your dog’s saliva and starts to harden, this is what we call tartar.
Tartar is what causes periodontal diseases such as inflamations, infections and even tooth loss as your pet’s gums pull away from the teeth. It only takes 36 hours for plaque to harden into tartar.
Brushing and giving chew bones is good but sometimes you need a bit extra help. A regular dog dental cleaning can help to keep your pet’s teeth clean. Most importantly, dog dental cleanings can help keep your dog healthy. Snuggly Tails provides an affordable way to keep your pets teeth healthy.

How to Maintain A Pet's Teeth Healthy
Plaque forms when your pet eats. Consequently, it mixes with the natural chemicals in your dog’s saliva and starts to harden, this is what we call tartar.
You might ask yourself is there a way to avoid paying for any type of dental cleanings? Yes, regular brushing can help maintain your dog’s teeth health. Start slowly and gently, allowing your pet to get used to it. Sometimes starting with your finger, using a finger brush, or just toothpaste can help make them at ease.
We also recommend certain bones. A pet’s diet can also very much influence a dog’s dental health. Raw diets – even those that are prepared, ground raw diets – help control excessive tartar build-up. Raw ground bone acts as gentle dental abrasive, mimicking fine sandpaper when chewed. This helps remove debris stuck on teeth. Meat that is not manufactured-as the kind you find in starchy kibble- contains enzymes which also does not stick to the dog’s teeth.
The problem is giving dogs and cats food that is cooked and full of carbohydrates. This can not only affect a dog’s dental health it can also affect their health in general.Brushing and giving chew bones is good but sometimes you need a bit extra help. A regular dog dental cleaning can help to keep your pet’s teeth clean. Most importantly, dog dental cleanings can help keep your dog healthy.
