Dog Dental Cleaning in Miami, FL
Dental cleaning at a grooming salon and a dental at the vet are two different things, and it matters that you know which one you are booking. What we do is brushing, plaque management and fresh breath treatment as part of a groom. What we do not do is scaling, extractions or anything under anesthetic. For those, your vet is the right call.

Dog Dental Cleaning in Miami, FL
Dental disease affects most dogs by middle age, and the treatment for it is a proper dental at the vet, under anesthetic, where the teeth can be scaled above and below the gum line and x rayed. No groomer can do that, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something that will not work.
What a groomer does is maintenance. Regular teeth brushing for dogs with dog safe toothpaste slows the rate at which soft plaque hardens into tartar. Over a year of grooms, that adds up, and it is the gap between vet dentals that most owners have no plan for.
We brush as part of every full grooming service in Miami, finish with a fresh breath treatment, and look at the gums and teeth while we are there. If the tartar is already heavy, the gums are red, or a tooth is loose, we will tell you plainly that it is a vet job. Barky Lounge aims to be the best dog groomer in Miami for honest advice, from our Edgewater salon on NE 18th Street.
What We Do and What We Do Not
What we do:
- Teeth brushing with dog safe toothpaste
- Fresh breath treatment
- A look at the gums and teeth, and an honest word if something looks wrong
- Dental chews and dental care products available in our Miami pet store
What we do not do:
- Scaling or polishing
- Anesthetic free dental procedures
- Extractions or any treatment
- Diagnosis of dental disease
All of the second list is veterinary work. We will say so rather than take your money for something that will not help.

Dog Dental Cleaning in Miami, Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer anesthetic free dental cleaning?
No. It cannot clean below the gum line, which is where dental disease actually sits, and it requires holding a conscious dog still while sharp instruments are in their mouth. We do not offer it.
Can you remove tartar from my dog's teeth?
No. Once plaque has hardened into tartar it needs scaling at a vet. Brushing prevents more forming, it does not remove what is there.
What is included in a groom?
Brushing with dog safe toothpaste and a fresh breath treatment, with every full groom. More on what’s included in dog grooming.
How much is it?
It is part of the full groom from $70, not a separate charge. See our grooming prices.
How do I know if my dog needs a vet dental?
Brown tartar along the gum line, red or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or reluctance to chew. Any of those means book a vet.
What can I do at home?
Brush daily if your dog will tolerate it, and use dental chews. We stock them in our pet store.
