I can’t say enough good things about Karen. My dog’s teeth were in very bad shape, and the results after the cleaning were honestly amazing. I truly wish I had known her years ago—if I had, my dog’s teeth never would have gotten this bad. What I appreciated most is that Karen never shamed or blamed me. She simply explained what to do and what not to do going forward, in a clear and respectful way. She is extremely knowledgeable, calm, and genuinely caring. I was also quoted ten times the price at a vet clinic, yet the results here were outstanding. Highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for professional, honest, and affordable dog dental care.

I took my Beagles to The Hounds for the first time. She was welcoming and I felt at ease soon after meeting her. She did a phenomenal job cleaning their teeth, and both pups left calm and happy. I'm extremely happy I found out about Karen and will be returning to her regularly to keep my pups teeth clean and healthy. I had also asked for help with trimming their nails, as my Beagles hate having their nails trimmed and it's always an ordeal. She offered me tips on how to approach a nail trim from the behavioral side and I was floored with how well it worked. It was by far the easiest nail trim I've ever given them, and I'm excited for it to get better. One visit is all it took to gain my trust and appreciation.

I hit the jackpot when I found Karen at The Hounds Teeth Cleaning for Dogs! I have two Toy Poodles, ages 3 & 4. They took to Karen effortlessly. Her demeanour and calmness were apparent from the beginning. Her love for dogs is obvious. She has a lovely space indoors and outdoors. Given that she takes one dog at a time, we were able to sit and relax in her wonderful fenced-in backyard. Our dogs were able to run freely and get the zoomies out before and after the cleaning. The pictures of their teeth, before and after, speak for themselves. Karen's prices are very reasonable, and the fact that she doesn't have to put the dogs to sleep is AMAZING! Thank you, Karen, for taking such good care of our fur babies and for putting us at ease!

Absolutely amazing experience! Waiting room was so cute, water, snacks, books, and even wood searches to keep you busy! Wasn't even an hour for my dog! The before and after speak for themselve!!! My dog was very happy after, and during. Definitely will be back! Karen was very educated and wonderful! Told me about the whole appointment. She told me what to tell my groomer because hair was getting in her mouth causing bacteria to grow! Thank you so much Karen!!!

My Vet was right! Karen really is a dog whisperer. My dog is terrified of strangers and went in shaking so badly i concidered cancelling. At the end of the appointment, she was relaxed and chill despite having her teeth worked on for an hour, and she really didnt want to leave her new friend Karen.!!! The work was absolutely amazing. Teeth so bright and clean, and so reasonably priced. HIGHLY reccomend this company

Amazing service! We’ve been struggling to keep up with the cleaning of our Pomeranians teeth and the plaque snuck up on us to the point that brushing didn’t do much anymore. Thanks to Karen his teeth look amazing and we can keep up with it again! The before and after pictures are just crazy!

Wonderful experience. Karen is so knowledgeable and professional, but it's was like talking to a friend. My dog's teeth are sparking and his breath is fresh. We will definitely be going back!
