These are THEIR pictures they have posted, the first two that popped up on google when I searched. Either they don't know that they are providing a service well below the standard of care or they know and they don't care. Lucky for them they are not licensed professionals like veterinarians and veterinary technicians are.

I'm sorry to be debbie downer on anesthesia free dentistry

FYI, I did an online chat with Magic Paws and asked them if they had a licensed veterinarian on their staff. Their reply was:

"The owner of the company is a licensed Dental Hygienist since 2005. There is no need of a supervision of a vet To do teeth cleaning without anesthesia in Florida."

Then, I asked for the name and license number of the hygienist, and they did not respond. Also, I could find no names of any owners on the website. When I Googled this topic, it sounds like it may not be legal to do canine teeth cleaning without on-site professional supervision. But, in any event, I would not consider this type of cleaning as a substitute for a veterinarian exam or cleaning.
