What do I need to know about periodontal disease and my dog?

Periodontal disease is the most common problem affecting dogs of all age groups. Diseases that affect the gums can cause pain and infection, in addition to causing the teeth to fall out. Periodontal disease can also have a secondary effect on major organs, causing or exacerbating organ system diseases. The very best way to prevent periodontal disease is daily dental home care.

The importance of daily dental home care cannot be over-emphasized. If you are having trouble accomplishing dental home care, our veterinary health care team is ready to help.

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is an important disease of domestic cats. It occurs worldwide in cats of all ages, but the disease is most common in young cats less than two years of age.
FIP appears to be more common in cats that live in multi-cat households, shelters, or catteries. Cats that are stressed due to re-homing, have recently had surgery, or have concurrent infections (more than one infection at a time) may also be more susceptible to developing FIP. Genetic factors are also thought to contribute to the development of FIP. Male cats are affected more often than females. Purebred cats, including Abyssinian, Bengal, Birman, Himalayan, Ragdoll, and Devon Rex may be predisposed to developing FIP.

Rats are popular family pets. They are extremely intelligent, inquisitive, interactive, and social. They can be easily trained to come when called and readily learn to perform tricks on command. If they are well socialized from a young age and treated gently, they are easy to handle, affectionate, and rarely bite unless provoked. Rats generally make good family pets but should never be left unsupervised with small children. 🐭

How do I brush my pet’s teeth?

Your veterinary team can demonstrate proper brushing techniques for your pet. In most cases, it is sufficient to brush the outer edges of the teeth. Your veterinarian can also supply you with the proper cleaning supplies. All you need is:

A soft toothbrush. There are special brushes designed for pets, an alternative is a soft fingertip brush.

Palatable pet toothpaste. Do not use toothpaste designed for humans as it may contain ingredients that are not safe for pets.

Treats. Choose a treat that your pet does not need to chew but can lick easily, such as a dab of cream cheese or yogurt.

November is Adopt A Senior Pet Month! Have you considered adopting a senior pet?

Senior pets can come with many advantages! Most are already house trained and know basic commands. Senior pets are generally calmer and more easygoing. Plus, since they are already grown, it is easier to get a better sense of their personality and grooming needs right away.

In honor of Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead), we’re celebrating the Mexican Xoloitzcuintli (Xolo), one of the most ancient dog breeds. Known as “the healers,” Xolos are believed to ward off and cure ailments.

Día de los Mu***os is a two-day celebration in early November to honor loved ones who have passed away. Families in Mexico commemorate their deceased pets before the Día de los Mu***os.
