Dental Care

Did you know that our pets suffer from tartar, gum disease, and tooth decay, just like we do? Infection that originates in the gums can spread throughout the body so it's important to keep your pet's mouth clean and healthy. 

You can help keep by brushing their teeth regularly with a pet toothbrush or finger brush and specially formulated pet toothpaste.  You can also help your pet's oral hygiene by giving them dental treats, which will help keep their teeth clean.

Also talk with your veterinarian about having your pet's teeth professionally cleaned as well.

Hello.
MY girlfriend and I recently moved into a new city. A small town city in Pennsylvania. We brought our nine year old toy poodle, Brutus. He's a wonderful dog and we love him. The only issue is that as soon as we leave he barks and whines so loud that we can hear him down the road. Not only is this annoying to neighbors, but our landlord was NOT at all happy about us bringing him in the first place (He made it clear that if anyone complained we had to remove Brutus within 24 hours). Well no one has complained yet, but it's bound to happen. Cna we avoid bark collars? Is there a more humane, easier way to do this? Any suggestions. PLEASE HELP!

My 14 month old American Bulldog loves to watch Barking Mad and other dog programs. Seriously - she really watches them, sometimes getting off the sofa to go closer to the tv, or look behind it.

Often there are very very bad dogs on the program. Am I crazy to wonder if watching the bad dog behavior might affect her, like watching bad tv affects my grandchildren? Forget the crazy part. Do you think this can affect my dog?
