Where did I make that statement?
You are correct. I hope that people DO make the best decision for their pups. Right now I have a pup in my home who is estimated to be five years old with horrible periodontal disease.

She lost six teeth (came to me missing others as well) and the two bottom canines were left in due to the fear that her jaw will fracture if they are pulled. They were packed with antibiotics...and when she is adopted, we will encourage a veterinary dental specialist for her. So sad that someone loved her so much (she is very sweet) but clearly did not take proper care of her. Oh...and her BUN and Creatinine were mildly elevated...most likely due to the periodontal disease.
