The dog on your grooming table is excited to be there, wagging, dancing, and panting. In your face. And it's breath? Strong enough to peel paint. Many dogs have the beginnings of dental disease as early as age three. This seems to be more typical in small breeds, but dental disease can be found in all breeds and sizes of dogs. Early signs are a buildup of plaque on the teeth and unpleasant-smelling breath. Left untreated, the dog can experience pain, and the bacteria in the mouth can circulate through the pet's body, causing damage to vital organs.
