Dog Teeth Cleaning at Home in MelbourneDental Scale & Polish $499Across Melbourne
Bad breath? Unsightly plaque and tartar? A qualified local vet scales and polishes your dog's teeth in the comfort of home, with gentle sedation for ultimate comfort. $499 for one dog, with discounts for multiple dogs at the same visit.
Dental disease is second only to ear infections in dogs, and can be extremely uncomfortable, much as it would be for us.
Bad breath and tartar are early warning signs
Bad breath and unsightly plaque and tartar are both early signs of dental and gum disease, not just cosmetic issues.
Dental disease affects the whole body
Bacteria from plaque not only damages the teeth, but also enters the bloodstream and harms the health of your pet's kidneys, heart and liver.
Scaling helps prevent tooth loss
Scaling the teeth helps prevent tooth loss by ensuring that tooth-supporting structures stay healthy.

Your pet will be gently sedated for ultimate comfort during the procedure.

What Melbourne Dog Owners Say
Genuine customer stories from at-home dog dental visits across Melbourne.
“Baxter's breath was unbearable and his teeth were covered in tartar. Dr. Tamara scaled and polished his teeth at home while he was gently sedated, then talked us through the oral examination afterwards. He was back to his normal self by dinner time.”

“Our rescue Staffy panics at the clinic, so a home visit was the only realistic option. Dr. Tamara was calm and unhurried, cleaned his teeth in our lounge room and the difference is amazing. No more bad breath and his gums look so much healthier.”

“We had both dogs cleaned in the one visit, which made it very affordable. Dr. Tamara examined their mouths thoroughly, picked up a cracked tooth early before it became a bigger problem, and the whole thing was far less stressful than a trip to a clinic.”

FAQ
Common Questions About Dog Teeth Cleaning
Straight answers about our at-home dental scale and polish service in Melbourne.
A dental scale and polish is $499 for one dog. That covers the vet coming to your Melbourne home, gentle sedation, ultrasonic scaling above and below the gum line, a polish and a comprehensive oral examination. Discounts are available for multiple dogs cleaned at the same visit at the same address, and your price is always confirmed before booking.
Sedation keeps your dog calm, still and comfortable while the ultrasonic scaler removes plaque and tartar above and below the gum line. It also allows a genuinely thorough oral examination, which is stressful and unsafe to do properly on an awake patient. Your vet will explain the sedation process and answer any questions before the visit.
Because your dog will be sedated, they need to be fasted on the day of the visit. No food on the morning of the appointment. Your dog can have a drink when they wake up, then take the water away and keep it off until the vet arrives. A calm morning at home before we arrive is all the preparation that is needed.
Same-day bookings are not possible for this service. Because your dog needs to be fasted on the day of the visit, with no food that morning, the appointment needs to be arranged in advance so you have time to prepare. Book ahead and we will find a time that suits you.
As part of the service, the vet conducts a comprehensive oral examination and will inform you if there are any major oral health concerns. If anything needs further treatment, the vet will explain what was found and talk you through the recommended next steps in plain words.
