I cannot stress enough the importance of dental hygiene for your furry loved ones. With 92% of dogs having some form of dental disease in varying severity by the age of THREE it's blatantly evident that not only do owners think teeth brushing is trivial but ones that KNOW it's important are just too lazy to do it. I work in a grooming salon and it breaks my heart to see some clients come in with rotting teeth that are shades of green and black. So many dogs come in with sensitive gums or missing teeth because of how much people don't really care to brush their dog's teeth.

Before I started working with animals I also had no idea that dental hygiene was so incredibly important for my dog. She went 9 years of un-brushed teeth. Her gums and teeth were completely rotted, her breath smelled of decay and looking back on it now I feel horrible because it got to a point where she could only eat wet food because she couldn't chew anything hard. Of course, I was too young to really know or do anything about it but I know now and actively brush my cat's teeth because of how important it is.

PLEASE BRUSH YOUR DOGS TEETH. It really isn't a joke or something to skip out on.
