We're so excited to have David Rogowski from The Tooth Furry offer his gentle, professional dog teeth cleaning services to our spaw!

Healthy gums, teeth and mouth is extremely important for your dog. Teeth cleaning kills harmful bacteria that cause build up of plaque/tartar and can also cause health issues if left untreated.

Each appointment takes roughly 30 minutes and cleanings are done in our treatments room located in the back of the boutique behind a secure glass door. Your dog’s well-being, safety and comfort is our #1 priority.
