Does your dog have a chronic case of ‘dog breath’? If so, she’s in good company, as it’s currently estimated that 80% of dogs over age three suffer from ‘yuck mouth’. That’s right, even the most caring and devoted dog owners have been known to routinely relegate these duties to the ‘I Will Deal with this Tomorrow’ pile.
What many dog owners don’t realize is that dental disease isn’t restricted to the mouth but can indirectly impact the heart, kidneys, intestinal tract and joints. If your companion’s dental hygiene hasn’t been a priority, then you should definitely check out this episode of Pet Talk with Dr. Sarah.
