Holistic Dental Hygiene: For Dogs and Their Humans
Dental Hygiene is important, for caninkind as well as humans. However, too often this gets overlooked, especially as dogs age and have greater health risks. The routine to change smoke detector alarms when the hour moves forward or back is a good one. Special days have a way of triggering us to remember special routines. This year, Valentine’s Day was all the more significant for me, and will be in the future—as "Poopals Appreciation Day." Lev and Sage had a trip to the vet to get their teeth cleaned. Anne, the technician at East York Animal Clinical did a wonderful job, and Dr. Cindy Kneebone prescribed a potion to facilitate tartar removal year-round. No brushing required! Leba III is a totally natural spray in solution—for humans as well as dogs. It’s too early to gage long-term results, but we’re hoping so far so good. Take a look at Sage’s clean teeth in the slightly hard-to-see snapshot above! (Sage wouldn’t keep still.)
p.s. Please note: a November 08 Google Search, "complaints about Leba 111" led the searcher to this blog entry. In view of Sage’s dental demise (around the same time) it’s now unclear how much this product actually helps. Optimism is always good, but reality can be a greater teacher…
