Pet Teeth Brushing

Gentle Oral Care for Dogs

Just like people, pets need regular dental care to stay healthy and happy. At Sittin’ Pretty Pet Spa, our professional teeth brushing services help prevent plaque buildup, freshen breath, and support long-term oral health for both dogs. We provide gentle, effective dental hygiene as part of your pet’s regular grooming routine at our Roseville and Eastpointe locations.

Oral health is often overlooked in pet care — but it’s one of the most important parts of your pet’s overall well-being. Our experienced grooming team makes the process quick, comfortable, and beneficial for pets of all ages.

What’s Included in Our Pet Teeth Brushing Service

We keep the process simple and stress-free. Each teeth brushing session includes:

• Vet-approved enzymatic toothpaste (formulated specifically for pets — no harmful foaming agents)
• Soft-bristled toothbrushes sized for dogs
• Gentle, low-stress application
• Tartar and plaque assessment
• Fresh breath boost

We recommend adding teeth brushing to your pet’s grooming appointment every 4–6 weeks for the best results. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in your pet’s health.

Why Pet Teeth Brushing Matters

Routine brushing isn’t just about fresh breath. Without regular dental care, pets are at risk of developing serious conditions like:



• Gingivitis and periodontal disease
• Tooth decay or abscesses
• Painful gum inflammation
• Tooth loss
• Bacteria entering the bloodstream, which can lead to heart, liver, or kidney complications

By brushing your pet’s teeth regularly, you’re helping protect them from discomfort and costly vet bills down the road.

How Often Should You Brush Your Pet’s Teeth?

Veterinarians recommend daily brushing at home if possible — but we understand that can be challenging. Our professional brushing service is an ideal solution for pet owners who want to:

• Supplement at-home care
• Keep up with routine oral hygiene
• Help older pets maintain dental health
• Freshen their pet’s breath between vet cleanings
• Start a dental care routine for puppies or kittens

Regular professional brushing is especially important for small dog breeds, flat-faced dogs, and pets with a history of dental issues.

Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care

Not sure if your pet needs teeth brushing? Here are some common signs of oral health issues:



• Bad breath (halitosis)
• Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Difficulty chewing or loss of appetite
• Excessive drooling
• Pawing at the mouth or face

If you notice any of these symptoms, let us know — we’ll take a closer look and refer you to a veterinarian if needed.

Safe and Comfortable for All Pets

Our groomers are trained in handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. We use gentle techniques and work at your pet’s pace, ensuring they feel safe and secure during every step of the brushing process.

For pets with high anxiety or sensitivity around the mouth, we may recommend starting with short sessions and gradually building up their comfort over time.

We do not use sedation, and we’ll let you know if we encounter any issues that may require veterinary attention.

Combine Teeth Brushing with Grooming

Our teeth brushing service is available as an add-on to any grooming package. Many pet parents choose to include it along with:



• Bathing and blow drying
• Haircuts
• Nail trimming
• Ear cleaning
• De-shedding treatments

By combining services, you’ll save time and keep your pet’s entire grooming routine on track — inside and out.
