February is National Pet Denial month!... no wait, that's not right... lets try that again. February is National Pet Dental Health month! I know you brush your teeth twice and floss daily too. Anyways, like I way saying, you take care of your own teeth, but have you ever thought about your dog's teeth? Here's a scary fact: about 80% of dogs have early stages of gum disease by age three!

So what is Canine Periodontists (dog gum disease)?
"It's a bacterial infection of the mouth. There are four stages of periodontal disease, progressing from plaque and mildly inflamed gums, to established gingivitis (gum disease), and then on to mild and ultimately severe periodontitis, which may involve bone and/or tooth loss." (source)
