About Happy Tails Dental
Who We Are🪄
At Happy Tails Sedation-Free Dental for Dogs, we aim to provide affordable, gentle and no anesthesia dog dental cleanings for small dogs - all in the comfort of your own home. We believe in delivering safe, compassionate care that prioritizes your pet's comfort and well-being, no matter your dogs health condition.
My name is Jamie. With almost 25 years in the dental field and a dog mom to my own 2 dogs, I wanted to create a service that combines convenient, holistic care with a gentle touch. That is why I created Happy Tails Dental. Because I work in your dogs familiar environment, they stay calm and relaxed throughout the process. No crowded waiting rooms or stressful car rides - just compassionate, professional care tailored to your own dog's individual needs. A non-sedation dental cleaning for dogs is a low-stress, natural approach that supports your pets whole-body health - without the dangers of anesthesia.
Dental Cleanings for Small Dogs Without Sedation
What happens during the visit?
We understand how important your pet's heath is, and dental hygiene plays a crucial role in their overall well-being. Sedation can be dangerous. That's why we're dedicated to making our sedation-free dental for dogs accessible, safe, and anxiety-free. Whether your pup is older, nervous, or simply needs a more comfortable environment, our no anesthesia dog dental cleanings are are designed to ensure their smile stays bright and healthy - with no added stress for you or your dog. A non-sedation dental cleaning for dogs means none of the risks associated with sedation.
During the first half of the visit, we will begin assessing your dog's overall dental health, checking for signs of gum disease, loose/broken teeth or any unusual growths. If we do spot any concerns, we will refer you to your local veterinarian for further care. If everything looks healthy, we will then spend some time just sitting with them and encouraging them before beginning with your dog's teeth cleaning - this time is spent to make sure your pet has a positive experience with us. We will also take a picture of your dogs teeth as they look just before the cleaning.
The second half of the visit is when we will begin to start cleaning their teeth using an ultrasonic cleaner - the same technology used in your dentists office! The ultrasonic uses sound waves to safely and effectively remove plaque and tartar without any scraping or discomfort. We will give your dog as many breaks needed for them to feel comfortable during the process, ensuring a positive experience.
Lastly, we will polish their teeth and take their after photo. After the visit, we will give individual recommendations on daily dental care to maintain their oral health.
That's it! All in the comfort of your home.
We serve, Clifton, Ridgewood, Jersey City, Manhattan and the surrounding areas.
Questions & Answers
Is my dog a candidate for a non-anesthesia cleaning?
A non-sedation dental cleaning is recommended for:
- Any dog that has had their teeth checked by a licensed vet and recommended for a dental cleaning
- Any dog with an otherwise healthy mouth, but could benefit from a dental cleaning
- Any dog that has an underlying health condition, for which anesthesia could be life-threatening
- Any dog under 25lbs who does not bite and is generally calm and well-behaved, with no severe anxiety or medical conditions that affect behavior
Why choose a sedation-free dental cleaning for my dog?
Sedation-free dental cleanings are a gentle, stress-free alternative for dogs with an otherwise healthy mouth who don't need full anesthesia. It's safer - especially for older or smaller dogs - and avoids the risks and recovery time associated with putting your pup under. Anesthesia-free means zero risk from sedation. By keeping your dog relaxed and comfortable in their own home, we're able to maintain their dental health between vet visits, without the anxiety, cost, or complications of sedation. It's a natural, effective way to keep those tails wagging and teeth sparkling!
Is a no anesthesia dog dental cleaning safe for my dog?
Yes! For many small dogs, especially for those with underlying health conditions, anesthesia-free dental cleanings are a safe and effective option. We use gentle handling techniques and an ultrasonic scaler to remove the plaque and tartar without sedation or discomfort.
What tools do you use to clean my dogs teeth?
For your dog's teeth cleaning, we use an ultrasonic scaler, the same type used in human dentistry, which uses sound waves to gently break down plaque and tartar. Its quiet, safe and non-invasive.
How long does the cleaning take?
Appointments typically take 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the needs of each individual dog. We take as much time as each dog needs to feel comfortable and anxiety-free.
Do I need to prepare for the appointment?
No, you do not need to prepare for your appointment. We just require a small, quiet, well-lit space where your dog feels comfortable. It's best if your pup hasn't eaten for about an hour before the cleaning. The visit will be just like you are going to get your teeth cleaned!
Will my dog be stressed or scared?
We always work at your dogs pace and use calming techniques to help them feel secure. Since we do the cleaning in your home, your dog is already in a familiar and low-stress environment, which makes a big difference.
How often should my dog get their teeth cleaned?
Most dogs benefit from a professional cleaning every 6 months, depending on their breed, diet and oral hygiene routine. Some benefit from more often cleanings. The time period between cleanings will be assessed at your first visit.
What if my dog wont sit still?
We are experienced in working with all kinds of temperaments-as long as they do not bite. We take our time, allow breaks, and adjust to your dog's needs. However, if your dog bites, or is aggressive, we may recommend alternative options.
What locations due you service?
Happy Tails serves Clifton, Ridgewood, Jersey City & the surrounding areas. We also service New York City & parts of Connecticut, Pennsylvania & Delaware. Please send us a message and we'd be happy to let you know if we are able to come to you.
My dog is under 5lbs - can you still do the cleaning?
Yes! We work with many tiny pups and take extra care with small breeds under 5 pounds. Every cleaning is gentle, slow-paced, and tailored to your dog's size and comfort level.
Do you provide services for large dogs too?
Our specialty is small breeds, as they are more prone to dental issues and typically respond best to this kind of hands-on care. If you have a larger dog, feel free to reach out - we can discuss if its a good fit.
Do you clean and sterilize your instruments between dogs?
Yes, absolutely! All of our instruments are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized between each dog using the same high standards you'd find in a human dental office. Your dogs health and safety are our top priorities, and we follow strict protocols to ensure everything is spot-less and germ-free every time.
Do you offer any natural or holistic products?
Yes! We use dog-safe, vet-approved products and can recommend natural options for daily at-home care to help maintain your pup's clean smile between visits.
Will my dog hate me or you after this?
Only for about 30 seconds - and then we win them back with belly rubs and baby talk. We usually part as best friends.
Will my dog's breath smell like roses after this?
Lets be honest - maybe not roses, but definitely way better than before the visit.
Are you registered and insured?
Yes, we are fully registered and insured. Your dog's safety - and your peace of mind - are extremely important to us.
Do you offer a discount for more than one dog?
Yes, we do! Got a whole pack of pups? We offer a multi-dog discount to keep all those tails wagging - and those teeth sparkling!
What is the cost of the no anesthesia dental cleaning?
The cost is significantly less than the cost of a veterinary cleaning, but just as safe & as effective. Regular non-sedation dental cleaning for dogs can reduce the need for expensive vet procedures. Please contact us for the cost of your sedation-free dental for dogs.
