£700 for a clean?

The bill starts long before the appointment.

You don't get there overnight — you build towards it, one missed back tooth at a time. Here are five reasons the daily routine changes the maths.

Read the 5 reasons

Daily dental care between vet visits. Not a replacement for veterinary treatment.

Most dental bills don't arrive out of nowhere. They arrive at the end of a slow buildup that started months earlier — usually at the back teeth, where nobody looks.

This isn't another reminder to brush more often. It's a look at what's actually happening in your dog's mouth between vet visits, and why the routine you already have — dinner — is the one worth building on.

Five reasons the daily routine changes the maths.

The bill Reason 1 of 5

You don't wake up to a £700 bill. You build towards one.

Plaque starts small. It sits where it's easy to miss. Over time it can harden into tartar — and once professional attention is needed, the numbers can get much bigger.

  1. It starts small Plaque buildsday after day, especially at the back
  2. Then it sets Hardens into tartarover time
  3. Then it costs Professional cleaning may be neededand the numbers can climb

A dental can also involve anaesthetic, blood tests where required and additional treatment — which is how bills run into the hundreds. Figures vary by practice.

The back teeth Reason 2 of 5

You've already checked her back teeth

The brown along the back. The bit you noticed, closed her mouth, and thought: “I'll sort that soon.” Soon has a habit of becoming months.

The routine Reason 3 of 5

If brushing was going to happen every day, it would already be happening

You know you're supposed to. Your dog hates it. You hate doing it. So it gets skipped.

The advice

What you're told to do

  • Brush her teeth every day.
  • Make it a calm two-minute routine.
  • Keep it up for years.
The reality

What actually happens

  • It gets skipped more days than not.
  • She pulls away, you give up, everyone's tense.
  • The brush ends up at the back of a drawer.

The mechanism Reason 4 of 5

This is why a powder makes sense

A brush only helps where you actually get to.

A toothbrush only cleans where you manage to brush. DentalPets goes in with dinner and travels with the saliva already moving around the mouth — towards the harder-to-reach back teeth.

Still deciding? The questions owners ask.

Before you decide

The questions owners ask

Does my dog still need the vet?

Yes. This is daily care to use between professional cleanings — not a replacement for veterinary treatment. Keep her check-ups as normal.

Do I have to brush her teeth?

No. You add her daily serving to her food — no brush, no wrestling.

How can a powder reach the teeth?

It travels with the saliva already moving around her mouth, toward the harder-to-reach back teeth a brush or chew often can’t.

Is it a subscription?

No. It’s a one-off purchase — buy again only when you want to.

What if it’s not for us?

There’s a 60-day money-back guarantee. Try it, and if it’s not right, get your money back.

When will I notice anything?

Every dog is different, so results vary. You’re covered by a 60-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it without risk.

What if she already has hard tartar?

Established dental problems can require professional veterinary care. DentalPets is daily care between vet visits, not a replacement for veterinary treatment.

How long does one tub last?

One tub contains 50 scoops. How long it lasts depends on your dog’s size and daily serving.
