Dental Care is Crucial Care

P. Elizabeth was compelled to write her latest book, which honors the unique bond we have with companion animals, after suffering the sudden death of her forever dog, Amazing Grace Anderson, to whom the book is dedicated and whose photo is shown below:

Amazing Grace Anderson died unexpectedly while having her teeth cleaned. This is not intended to scare you away from this essential procedure. In fact, this is to impress upon you how important dental care is. Begin dental care EARLY so your puppy or kitten will be comfortable with having his or her teeth cleaned. By some accounts, dogs as young as three years old have dental disease. Diseased gums release high levels of bacteria into the bloodstream, which can travel to other organs in the body, such as the heart, and cause serious harm. Use proper food and proper hygiene. If you adopt a young adult or older dog, who will not let you brush the teeth, try one of the dental rinses or water additives, and use that frequently, daily if possible! C.E.T. Home Dental Care products are excellent and include toothpaste, mouthwash, and chews. Our family depends on Healthymouth water supplement, available only from your vet, and Oravet Dental Chews. Always read product information carefully and check with your vet before using any products.
