Feel More Relaxed
A friendly distraction can make arriving for an appointment feel easier.
A Different Kind of Comfort
Comfort Comes in Many Forms
Dental visits can feel stressful for some patients. At Peosta Dental, we want every person who walks through our doors to feel welcome, heard, and supported. That is where Koby comes in.
Koby is our friendly black Goldendoodle and patient comfort companion. He loves greeting patients, offering high-fives and hugs, and simply being nearby when a little extra reassurance would help. His calm, affectionate personality makes him a special part of the Peosta Dental experience for children and adults alike.
Professionally trained by Tory Topping at Stone Hollow in Cascade, Iowa, Koby is comfortable around people and enjoys helping our office feel a little less clinical and a lot more welcoming.
Why Koby Is Here
How a Therapy Dog Can Help
Koby does not replace dental care or clinical treatment. He is simply one more comfort option for patients who enjoy having a friendly four-legged companion nearby.
Ease Nervousness
Koby's calm presence may help some patients settle into the dental environment.

Look Forward to Returning

A calming presence when patients need it most.
Always Your Choice
Your Comfort and Preferences Come First
Every patient is different, and spending time with Koby is always optional. Some patients enjoy visiting with him in the reception area, while others prefer a quick hello before treatment. Depending on the appointment, he may also be available during an appropriate portion of the visit.
If you have allergies, personal preferences, or any other concern about being around dogs, please let us know. Your comfort comes first.
Part of a Bigger Commitment
More Than a Friendly Face
At Peosta Dental, patient comfort is about more than one amenity. It means thoughtful communication, gentle treatment, modern dental technology, a welcoming team, and an environment designed to help patients feel at ease.
Koby is one more way we bring that philosophy to life. His wagging tail and friendly personality remind us that sometimes a small moment of connection can completely change how a dental visit feels.
Whether you come to see Koby or prefer your appointment without him, our goal is the same: to make sure you feel respected, comfortable, and cared for from the moment you arrive.
