Dental Health Awareness: Natural Care & Toothbrushing | PITB

Jacob Munro • March 16, 2026

How Open Range chews and professional toothbrushing build a foundation for lifelong wellness.


At Paws in the Bath (PITB), we believe that a healthy pet is a happy pet, and wellness begins with the details that are often overlooked, like dental hygiene. As your "neighborhood pet people," we are committed to making pet care stress-free, consistent, and wellness-focused. While many see grooming as purely aesthetic, our signature 4-point health check (examining coat, ears, teeth, and nails) serves as a vital proactive assessment of your dog's overall health.

The Professional Edge: Toothbrushing Add-Ons

While we assess your pet's overall well-being at every visit, we recommend choosing our Toothbrushing add-on to ensure your dog’s oral health gets the dedicated attention it deserves. When this service is selected, our trained groomers perform a meticulous cleaning and take the time to identify any emerging plaque or tartar issues, allowing us to provide you with expert feedback on your pet’s dental status. For modern pet parents in the GTA, this professional check is a vital component of long-term comfort and health.

The Power of Open Range: Bully Sticks & Collagen Braids

To support dental health between visits, we feature Open Range Pet Treats in our retail spaces across Toronto, Newmarket, Aurora, and beyond. These high-quality, single-ingredient chews act as a "natural toothbrush":
  • Bully Sticks & Braids: Sourced from grass-fed animals raised without hormones or steroids, these chews help mechanically remove plaque and tartar as your dog chews, promoting healthy gums and fresher breath.

  • Water Buffalo Collagen Braids: A perfect alternative for active chewers, these braids are highly digestible and offer a satisfying texture that scrubs teeth clean while providing excellent mental enrichment. By incorporating these into your routine, you are investing in your dog’s confidence and health.
Modern Care Meets Local Heart 

Whether you are exploring the trails at Rouge Park or prepping for a busy school season in Bradford, we make dental wellness simple with modern convenience. Our "Active Wellness" hub at Rouge Park, in partnership with Rosewood Pet Resort (RWPR), is the perfect place to combine play, enrichment, and expert grooming. Experience the PITB difference, where your best friend is always our favorite client.
