So I take Baxter to this super super nice doggy daycare / boarding place here in Miami.
They have a back room with crazy extras like massage room, accupuncture, accupressure, grooming, and even a quiet room for nervous dogs. Couches, beanbags, etc.
Their clientele are the upper class downtown miami people who make me look like I am poverty stricken with their income, so I guess it caters to them.
Anyways, they have a dental person coming on Thursday, and I wanted to get Baxter's teeth cleaned. I asked if it was just a quick 5 minute brushing, and she said "No, its a very thorough cleaning that takes some time".
My next question was: "Do you sedate the dog then? If its tooth scaling and really getting them clean, how do you do it?"
She said "No sedation. We don't have a license for that anyway. The dental person brings a magnetic blanket and wraps it around the dog. This calms the dog significantly. She spends time with them in a calm setting, and then begins the dental cleaning".
Has anyone heard of such a thing? My first concern is baxter getting overheated from some crazy blanket. My second thought was that it sounds like new age nonsense that doesn't do a darn thing. And my third thought was "Good luck with your blanket because as soon as you stick that chicken flavored paste in his mouth, he's going to turn into a ravaging slobber monster gobbling it up!"
Do these blankets work?
