Dental Care

Dental health is very important in your pet’s life. Starting to brush your puppy’s teeth now will help him or her to get used to this routine and prevent problems in the future.

If you can’t brush your pet’s teeth every day then this may be a good option.

House Training, Chewing and Biting

Behavior is the number one reason pets get surrendered or euthanized. Biting and chewing can be a big problem in puppies. They need to learn when they are young that this is not acceptable behavior. To help prevent unwanted chewing give your puppy something else he/she can chew on like a Kong® or a busy buddy® toy.
