Dental care

It is important to maintain good dental care for more reasons than good breath.  Decayed teeth or infected gums carry bacteria.  This bacteria can lodge in the valves of the heart, making them less able to function properly!
Brush your dog's teeth daily or at least weekly, with a sponge dipped in hydrogen peroxide.  Also helpful: hard dog biscuits or sterilized cow hooves.  Some dogs will chew a raw carrot, thus massaging their gums and gaining useful vitamins at the same time!
