Dog & Cat Health

MaxiGuard Oral Cleaning Gel
My favorite product for brushing dog's teeth. From Google Shopping search. Flavorless dentifrice makes it EASIER to train your dog to be still, minimizes licking and allows you to do a more efficient job of cleaning.

Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12% Oral Rinse
Great antibacterial solution to treat oral infections topically as needed. From Google Shopping search.

My favorite toothbrush for most dogs
The CET small dog (and cat) toothbrush. I don't recommend buying the kits with paste because the toothpaste is flavored, which encourages excessive licking. Available from MediVetRx. Not to be confused with bulky finger brushes or dual ended brushes. For micro mini dogs (like tiny Chihuahuas) I like to use foam dental swabs or applicators.

Dremel 10.8v Lithium Ion Cordless Rotary Tool (8000 series)
Highest quality nail grinder on the market. From Google Shopping search.

Harbor Veterinary Services
Don't confuse smarmy bedside manner and fancy waiting rooms with ethical veterinary practices or quality medical treatment! Dr. Steve Egri at Harbor Veterinary Services is like the family vets of my youth: More like old-time family physicians!

Rabies Challenge Fund/Study
The Rabies Challenge Fund Charitable Trust will determine the duration of immunity conveyed by rabies vaccine. The goal is to extend the required interval for rabies boosters to 5 and then to 7 years.

All Pets Dental
All Pets Dental is the website of Dr. Jan Bellows. I LOVE this guy! It is rare for a vet to make such a supreme effort to provide valuable education for the public. Of course my favorite part is his strong argument for brushing pet's teeth daily!

Breeders Veterinary Services
Breeder Veterinary Services offers clinics at dog shows in CA for microchipping and OFA screening, etc.
