How does your dog make you thankful? 🐶

11/24/2024

The border collie originated in Britain around the English and Scottish border during the 1800s.
A defining event was the advent of the first competitive sheepdog trial in 1873, in which a dog named H**p made such a good showing that he became sought after for stud. H**p is considered to be the father of the border collie.
H**p and his progeny herded not by nipping and barking, as was commonplace, but by staring and stalking (known as "giving eye"). This intimidated the sheep into moving.

The Coton de Tulear, also known as the ‘royal dog of Madagascar’, it is a long-established breed that takes its name from Tulear, a port town on the island’s southwest coast. It is said that in the 15th century several Bichon-type dogs from Tenerife survived a pirate shipwreck and swam to Tulear, where they interbred with local terriers, resulting in the Coton de Tulear. It became a very popular dog in the royal homes, so much so that a law was published that prohibited having this breed to anyone who did not belong to the nobility of Madagascar.

Did you know that over 80% of dogs over the age of three have active dental disease?

Few dogs show obvious signs of dental disease, so it is up to the dog's family and veterinarian to uncover this hidden and often painful condition. The good news is that regular cleanings can help prevent dental disease and keep your pet healthy!

What causes bad breath in dogs?

Bad breath, or halitosis, can be caused by bacteria from plaque, decomposing food particles in periodontal pockets, persistent bleeding, or tissue death from oral tumors.

Dental examinations at least twice a year are recommended to help treat and prevent halitosis. Schedule your examination today and rid your pet of bad breath!
