Pet Dental Health Month: Tips and tricks to combat doggy breath
The war on pet dental disease is waging! Oral care is so
important for pets and brushing their teeth is the best way to prevent future
dental disease. I brush my dogs Hazel and Keira’s teeth but let me tell you-
it’s tricky. Not just for me, but for many pet owners. Over the years I have
been able to get some tricks from savvy pet owners and veterinary professionals
and I feel it is only fitting to share them. According to the American Animal
Hospital Association (AAHA), approximately 85 per cent of cats and dogs over the age of three have some form
of periodontal or dental disease. I hope that by sharing these tips, teeth brushing
can become a happy, fight-free experience!

"feet" can be in pain- and you may not even know it.
There are
some products out there- along with some tips and tricks- to help you take
extra special care of your dog’s paws in this cold weather.
