Taking Care Of Your Dog's Teeth And Nails

Check Teeth

Is your dog’s breath a little smelly? It could be tartar buildup, tooth decay or a nose or mouth infection. If you notice changes in your dog’s mouth or breath you should consult your vet. There are also premium pet foods that have been designed to help reduce the build up of plaque and tartar, promoting healthy teeth and gums. The mechanical action of chewing the specifically designed kibble, in combination with the active ingredient (sodium tripolyphosphate) promotes good oral hygiene.

Check Nails


Letting nails grow too long can be painful for your dog. If you haven’t done this before, take your dog to the vet or groomer and ask them to show you when and how to clip them and what tools to use.

My mother's dog is 9 years old,his teeth are very clean except for a couple that need some attention. I have rang a few vets and they have quoted between $500- $800 how do pensioners pay for this service and what's the point of saving an animal from the lost home if they charge so mutch to keep them
