our mission
Making pets and their humans smile.
Why we started Flossy.
Jean, Co-Founder
I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. Strays we took in off the street, dogs we brought home from shelters. And I remember how their mouths got worse year after year. The breath first. Then the hesitating when they ate because it hurt.
The last of them was Zuki. By the end her gums were inflamed and her teeth were in bad shape. Her kidneys failed and she passed. I will never know for sure whether the two things were related. What I do know is that we never once had her teeth cleaned, and the reason was simple. I did not know I was supposed to.
I know now. That is why Flossy exists.
We started it because none of us could find a good way to keep up. We did the research and the advice was clear. Plaque hardens into tartar constantly, and tartar needs to come off regularly. But following that advice was the hard part. Cleaning meant planning well ahead, driving across town, leaving your dog for the day, and paying enough that most owners quietly decided to wait until next year. So the cleaning that should have happened at least twice a year happened once every few years, if it happened at all, while the tartar kept building.
We thought the upkeep should be easy enough to actually keep up with. So we built Flossy around three things. It comes to you, it is priced so you can do it on schedule instead of putting it off, and it is gentle, so you won’t dread the next one.

What Fear Free Certified Means
Fear Free® is an independent certification in gentle, low-stress animal handling, built to prevent and reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. Every member of our dental cleaning team is Fear Free Certified. The training teaches us to read a pet’s body language, spot early signs of stress, and adjust to keep them comfortable. That means working at your pet’s pace, using gentle handling instead of force, and taking a break when they need one. A calm pet is a happier pet, and it makes for a more thorough, comfortable cleaning.
You sit beside me. You stay. You make the world shine by just being here.
Cherish that. Protect it. Start with their smile.
