Meet Rachel
Rachel Mercieca is the founder, owner and heart behind K9 Tooth Solutions. A lifelong animal lover with six dogs of her own, Rachel brings genuine passion and personal understanding to every session she delivers.
With years of experience as one of Melbourne and Geelong’s first anesthesia-free dog teeth cleaning specialists, Rachel has built a reputation for first class care, warm customer service and results that dog owners can see.
When Rachel works with your dog, she treats them the way she treats her own. With patience, kindness, and the kind of attention that only comes from someone who truly cares.
Our Story
K9 Tooth Solutions was built on a simple belief that every dog deserves proper dental care without the risks that come with anesthesia. Rachel Mercieca founded the business after recognising a real gap in the market for a gentle and professional teeth cleaning for dogs across Melbourne and Geelong.
Being one of the first to offer anesthesia-free dog teeth cleaning in the region was not just a business decision. It was a commitment to doing things differently and doing them better. From the very first session, the focus has always been on the dog, their comfort, their safety and their smile.
That commitment has not changed. Every dog that comes through K9 Tooth Solutions receives the same standard of care that Rachel sets from day one.
Why Anesthesia-Free?
For Rachel, choosing an anesthesia-free approach was never a compromise. It was the right thing to do.
Putting a dog under sedation carries real risks, particularly for older dogs or those with underlying health conditions. Rachel saw an opportunity to deliver a thorough, professional clean without any of that unnecessary risk and built K9 Tooth Solutions around that philosophy.
Every session at K9 Tooth Solutions uses only positive reinforcement techniques. No sedation, no force, and no stress. Just a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe and owners feel confident. It is a gentler way to care for your dog’s dental health, and the results speak for themselves.
