This is Sadi, a 9-year-old Wirehaired Dachshund who her dad says is his very best friend. Sadi's dad noticed that she wasn't eating as much as she usually does, and wasn't feeling well. She was whining and just feeling pretty dumpy.
Sadi's dad is on a limited income and borrowed money from his family to help get Sadi into the vet’s office. There, the vet discovered that Sadi had multiple abscessed and broken teeth, which needed to be removed as soon as possible to avoid infection and help Sadi feel better. Dogs need dental cleanings, just like you and I do! Your pets dental health is a very important part of their overall health; in fact, health problems related to periodontal disease include kidney, liver, and heart muscle changes. According to the AVMA, every year (at least), your pet’s teeth and gums should be checked by a veterinarian to keep your pet’s mouth healthy. However, if you see some of these issues, have your pet’s teeth checked sooner, rather than later:
Even with borrowing funds and using his savings, Sadi's dad didn't have enough money for the procedure, so he applied to Fur Kids Foundation. We were happy to help Sadi find some relief. During her dental procedure, it was discovered Sadi had multiple bad teeth and many were removed. Sadi may be toothless, but she's feeling so much better now. Brushing your pet's teeth daily can help prevent dental or oral disease in pets because it removes the plaque and tartar that forms on teeth.To get some suggestions on what products are best to use, speak with your veterinarian.
