Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Good Morning America's ~ Puppies 101 THERE WAS A SEGMENT ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA TODAY CALLED PUPPIES 101. I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS A SERIES OR JUST A 1 DAY THING, BUT YOU CAN GO TO THEIR WEBSITE AND CHECK IT OUT. IT HAD A LOT OF GOOD INFO. ABOUT PUPPIES NEEDS. ESPECIALLY THIS ARTICAL ON A NEW VACCINE THAT IS RECOMENDED FOR TOY DOG BREEDS THAT ARE PRONE TO DENTAL PROBLEMS, LIKE YORKIES. MY LITTLE AUGGIE WOULD FIT THAT DESCRIPTION, WOOF! WOOF ! HERE'S THE ARTICAL & WEBSITE ADDRESS ... http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=2767800 Although owners want kissable doggie breath, taking good care of their pets' mouths ? regular brushing, special dental diets, and regular professional care ? will let them live 15 percent longer (an average of two years) than they would without it. An estimated 85 percent of all dogs will have some level of periodontal disease by age 3, making it the most commonly diagnosed problem in veterinary medicine. Pfizer recently developed a dog vaccine called Porphyromonas, which fights periodontitis. The vaccine can be given to puppies as young as 7 weeks old. The product is injected below the skin, with two initial doses three weeks apart. While the duration of immunity has not been established, it is expected that this product will be boosted every six months to 12 months. Ask your vet whether it's right for your puppy or your dog.

| It is very interesting..........however (always a but with me), I would want to see what kind of side effects/reactions pups get from this vaccine. I am weary of 'new' stuff...........so personally would wait and see. Thanks for the article!! Jess
