DENTAL HEALTH

Dental Health is often overlooked by most pet owners.  Remember, in  order to have a healthy body, the teeth must be healthy too.  Please check out how to Brush your cat's teeth, how to Brush your dog's teeth, and the AAHA standards. My dogs all get their teeth brushed daily with Oratene water additive and Oratene gel is applied after brushing.

Check out "Guide to Dental Care for Pets"   that lists many helpful websites (as per the AAHA and AVMA we do not  recommend raw diets; and some links are broken just an FYI)

There's a reason Thorogood sang "Bad to the Bone."  I know many  people give dogs real bones, but they can be deadly.  Please read the  articles, written by veterinarians, and don't give your dog a bone  again.  Don't Give Your Dog a Bone #1  and FDA Issues Warnings about Dog Bones I have seen several dogs die due to ham bone ingestion, another dog  with a shank bone stuck in the jaw for weeks, many dogs with upper 4th  premolar fractures and operated on two dogs with rawhide obstructing the  GI tract.  That's right, NO REGULAR RAWHIDE either.  It is listed as a  hazard by the ASPCA as well.
