๐ฆท Woof Wisdom Wednesday: Dental Health at Home
Good dental care isnโt just about fresh breath โ itโs about your dogโs overall health. Periodontal disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, and even affect the heart, kidneys, and liver.
Simple ways to support dental health at home:
*Daily tooth brushing โ with a dog-safe toothpaste (never human toothpaste). Even a few times a week makes a difference.
*Chews & toys โ natural chews, dental chews, or textured toys can help reduce plaque buildup.
*Fur-on chews โ rabbit ears or beef hide with hair can act like natural floss, helping clean teeth and support digestion. โ ๏ธ Always choose untreated products, supervise your dog, and introduce slowly so their system adjusts.
*Diet matters โ crunchy foods can help scrape teeth, while raw meaty bones (used safely and if your dog is used to raw food) are natureโs toothbrush.
*Regular checks โ peek at your dogโs gums and teeth: redness, bad breath, or buildup are early warning signs.
๐ก Even with great home care, most dogs will still need professional cleanings during their life โ but prevention at home means fewer vet visits and healthier smiles.
โจ At Happy Dogs Maui, we always keep an eye on each pupโs health โ from coat shine to those happy smiles.
๐ Whatโs your dogโs favorite chew for keeping teeth sparkling?

๐ฆ Woof Wisdom Wednesday: Thanksgiving Foods to Avoid
The holidays bring delicious meals, but not all foods are safe for dogs. Here are common Thanksgiving items to keep out of reach:
โToxic or unsafe foods:
*Cooked turkey bones โ splinter and cause blockages
*Onions, garlic, scallions โ toxic to dogs
*Stuffing & gravy โ often seasoned with unsafe ingredients
*Chocolate & desserts โ dangerous and sugar-heavy
*Alcohol โ even small amounts are harmful
โ Safe holiday treats:
*Plain turkey (no skin, no seasoning)
*Steamed green beans
*Plain pumpkin or sweet potato
โจ Sharing safe bites keeps pups included without putting them at risk.

Hello dog lover and parents and welcome to our doggie paradise in Waiehu/Hawaii on the slopes of the West Maui Mountains.
Our Happy Dogs Ohana consists of us (Sky and Kristin Solbach) and our 3 โhost pupsโ Red, Lily and Harley (plus some chickens and turkeys).
With our kennel-less in-home dog boarding service we open the doors to our house to puppies from other family that donโt just want to leave their dog in a boarding kennel when going on a trip.
If you bring your pup to us for a stay, our home becomes his/her home. Our home becomes your dogโs home away from home and he lives with us just like our own pups do.
If you want to find out more about our Ohana and the people and pups with whom your dog might be spending time, visit https://happydogsmaui.com/about/
