The Pettooth Team
Maia
A longtime Bay Area resident and a UC Berkeley grad, Maia finds great joy in serving communities through her unique work. Two decades ago, she impulsively responded to a newspaper ad for a pet dental cleaning apprenticeship and the rest, as they say, is history! She loved the work from the beginning and to this day. In her years of experience, Maia has cleaned thousands of teeth and cherishes interacting with both animals and their human companions. A lifelong animal lover and owner, Maia has a natural way with animals, and she is passionate about empowering owners to take part in their pet's oral health.
Verena
Verena joined the Pettooth team in 2015. A native of Brazil, she was a licensed human dentist in her home country before moving to the Bay Area. She decided not to pursue another degree here and is grateful that she discovered a new side of dentistry that she enjoys. Verena met Maia at their children's preschool, and after finding out about her work with animals, she trained under Maia and learned the special procedures and care with which the animals are treated. Verena's education in dental science, coupled with her lifelong love of animals, made the transition from humans to animals seamless.
Our Wonderful Veterinarians
Dr. Araba was our very first SF vet and has worked with us through thick & thin. She's one of our all-time favs to work with. She currently supervises two of our SF clinics. She has a Bay Area house call practice and is accepting new patients.
Dr. Sarah Daniel
The Kind Vets
Dr. Sarah supervises our Menlo Park clinic and one of our SF clinics. She's been instrumental in helping us step up our standards of care, and is a secret goof-ball. She has a Bay Area house call practice and is accepting new clients.
Dr. Jen supervises our East Bay clinics and our Marin clinic. We've never seen her lose her cool., even under the (genuinely!) craziest of circumstances! She has an East Bay holistic house call practice and is currently accepting new patients.
Dr. Anne Reed and the All Paws staff are wonderful. This special veterinary practice offers holistic vet care in Point Richmond. We do a dental clinic there once per month, open only to current All Paws patients.
PetVet/petfood is a Bay Area gem, a one-of-a-kind business committed to making vet care accessible to all. They offer low-cost wellness clinics inside their two East Bay pet stores. We currently do a once-a-month Saturday dental clinic at their El Cerrito location.
