🐾 Mackenzie

Founder, Owner & Operator 

Mackenzie has always had a love for animals but knew immediately after starting her apprenticeship in 2012 that this was her passion. Her goals include educating pet owners and professionals about the ins and outs of sedation-free teeth cleaning and helping aid others to do the same.

In 2017, she founded Coastal Canines Teeth Cleaning, and today the company spans Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, Cariboo, Okanagan, and Kootenay regions, offering sedation-free dental care.

 

Favorite part of the job: "Working with those anxious pups and seeing their tails wag during pickup, creating a good experience for them is my favorite thing in the world 🥰

🐾 Marie

Co-Captain & Business Partner

Marie joined Coastal Canines in 2024 and completes her training with the Gentle Dental Academy in September 2025. Her passion for canine wellness and intuitive understanding of dog behavior led her into this field, where she offers gentle, confident care.

Marie is the kind of person dogs instantly vibe with — calm, kind, and somehow always carrying a treat in her pocket. She’s currently training with K9 Gentle Dental and soon to be fully certified, bringing her gentle touch and big heart to our Coastal Canines mobile team.

Whether it’s a nervous chihuahua or a drooly lab with a gummy grin, Marie knows just how to put dogs at ease. She believes every cleaning should feel like a spa day (minus the cucumbers), and she’s passionate about fear-free care, clear communication, and giving every pup the positive experience they deserve.

Off the clock, Marie’s world revolves around her two beloved dogs: Happy (the true boss of the house) and Tipper (resident goofball and cuddle bug). They’ve taught her everything she knows about patience, unconditional love, and how to vacuum daily without losing her mind.

We couldn’t be more excited to have Marie with us — and neither could your dog. 🐶💛
