Tips For Easier Brushing:

1.  Start by gently handling the muzzle area for a few seconds on a regular basis - end each session on a positive note

2. Introduce a pet toothpaste, can start just on your finger and rub along gums.

3. Introduce a soft toothbrush or a "finger toothbrush"

4.  gradually work along all top teeth from canines back to molars in circular motion increasing time and pressure

5. hold muzzle and lift upper lip using up and down motion on front teeth

You Did It!

Overcoming extreme odds.... we want to congratulate our star patient  :

Starr - Starr was rescued during the extreme cold period in January.  She was found crying in a box and brought to our hospital.  It was found that an elastic band had been place around her muzzle, cutting of the circulation and causing her muzzle and lips to become necrotic and infected.  She is an amazing puppy, and with ongoing medical treatment is now eating, drinking and acting like a normal puppy!!

Donations for Starr and other rescued animals can be made through:
