Is the Barrie location the same quality as your flagship studios?

Yes. The Barrie location is home-based rather than a storefront studio, but the care itself does not change. We use the same all-natural products, the same professional polishers, and the same practitioner standards at every location. The home-based setting can actually be calmer for some pets, which tends to make the visit go more smoothly.

What type of visit should I book if my dog has never had a professional teeth cleaning before?

First-time clients always start with a New Patient Visit. This gives us the chance to meet your pet properly, take notes, and work at a pace that suits them. If your dog is a puppy up to 16 months old, there is a dedicated Puppy Visit designed to make the first experience as positive and gentle as possible. If you are unsure which one fits your situation, getting in touch before booking gives us the chance to help you figure out the right starting point.

My cat is older and I'm nervous about any kind of cleaning. Is this safe for senior cats?

Our cleaning is all-natural. For older pets, we always recommend getting in touch before booking so we can talk through your cat's situation. We want to make sure the visit is appropriate for your pet before you come in. If there is any concern that your cat may need veterinary attention first, we will be honest with you about that.

How often should I bring my pet in for a cleaning?

That depends on your pet's individual needs. We offer Maintenance Visit at 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, and 6-month intervals for returning clients. The right frequency depends on factors like your pet's breed, age, and how quickly plaque tends to build up. After your first visit, we can help you figure out a schedule that makes sense. Pets with higher plaque buildup may benefit from more frequent visits, while others do well with a 6-month routine.

Do you use the same practitioner at each appointment?

We offer same-practitioner booking, which we find makes a real difference, especially for pets who take a little time to warm up. When your pet sees the same familiar face at each visit, the experience tends to feel more comfortable and consistent. We also keep detailed notes from every visit, so your pet's history is always on hand and nothing needs to be repeated from scratch at each appointment.

What if my pet has a history of difficult behaviour during grooming or handling?

Please let us know before you book. Our senior practitioners take their time and adjust their approach based on the individual animal. That said, we will always be honest with you if we feel a visit may not be the right fit for your pet at a particular time. Getting in touch ahead of your first appointment gives us the chance to talk through your pet's specific situation.
