| Tell me again-getting teeth cleaned Ok, tell me again why only good mommies get their babies' teeth cleaned? I'm having Latte's done tomorrow and I know I'm going to feel like an ogre when I drop her off! |

| Leaving the tartar can lead to weakening and disease of the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. It is safer in the long run to have them cleaned when necessary. Does that help?

| Teeth Cleaning I found a Dental Hygenist who travels all around the country who cleans my dogs teeth without putting them to sleep. She usually goes to Hollistic Vets and stays a week cleaning teeth. She is actually doing all my furbabies on Labor Day. I get them cleaned every 6 months. I am in the room, she sits on the floor and holds the dog on her lap. My dogs are not stressed at all! The best is I am not stressed that my dogs will not wake up!!!! It is called Houndstooth Dental. Houndstooth Dental, Dog Teeth Cleaning, Cat Teeth Cleaning. Kathy and her sister live in California. Pricing is somewhere between $180-$230. |

| That's up to the vet and depends on their policy. Some allow you to bring blankets and toys and some don't.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | It is better for them. My littlest one Pixie has terrible teeth and gums and had a professional cleaning last summer. She went in at 8 am, vet called by 9:30 and she was done. They had to pull 7 permanent teeth and she was only 2 1/2. I went to pick he up around 3 and she was fine. Just make sure they do blood work prior to surgery. I will keep her in my prayers.

| Thank you! I will have them call me ASAP! She had 13 teeth removed and had a tooth abcess through her little cheek 4 years ago. I am doing this to prevent that from happening again. Thank you for the reassurance. I am taking her for a walk in 90º heat-but don't worry-she'll be in her carrier! She's ver excited-gotta go! |

| Latte's AOK Latte is in recovery and did fine! 2 little extractions. The vet called and said that her tiny little jaw has the teeth of a medium-sized dog! She recommends cleaning every 6 months. I'm going to need a side job!! |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Oh I am so glad she is done!!!

| Thank you! Me, too. She's licking her paws a lot, but I'm sure that's just to soothe herself. She did have 2 front teeth extracted, poor baby. I know she'll be tiptop tomorrow. |
