A CAUTIONARY TALE! Our senior dog, Brody, has always had worn teeth since we adopted him. He was chewing on a wood based bone that has been harmless for our young foster dog (with solid and healthy teeth), when suddenly, his chewing tooth fractured into several pieces ๐ We already knew that ANTLERS AND ANIMAL BONES ARE TO BE AVOIDED as they are tougher and harder than teeth, and therefore commonly cause these kinds of fractures. Our Brody has taught us that extra caution needs to be taken for senior pets with teeth that are more brittle. If you have a senior pet, please ask us about how to modify your routine in order to give them their best possible golden years ๐
We hope everyone was able to enjoy the fantastic weather we had this past week! ๐ Are your pets getting their heartworm, flea, and tick preventative year round? Remember, heartworm prevention works retroactively, so it treats your pets for any exposure that occurred within 30 days PRIOR to taking it. Disease transmitting insects are out and ACTIVE at 40 degrees or warmer. These mosquitos were spotted in Dr Faulkner's backyard last Sunday!
