hi this is elise mcmahon for expert village.comand in this video series we are talking about canine dental health care. if you would liketo find out more about my services, you can visit my website at www.canineheadstart.com.in this video clip we are talking about when you need to go to the vet. we’ve done in-homeowner pet care tooth care but there are times that you might actually want to take yourdog to the vet. have the vet take a look at the teeth and make a decision about whetheryou need actual teeth cleaning done by a veterinarian. we are going to show you an example we tooka look at ursa’s teeth. she had a little bit of tartar on her teeth. we were able towork on it ourselves. if you are comfortable you can do that at home yourself but thisfellow here has a significant amount of buildup

on his teeth. so we are going to take a lookat this so you can recognize this on your own dog. i’ll pick his head up. it makesit easier to look at. there you go tye. let’s take a look at this canine here. you can seethe significant amount of buildup on this canine right here. there you go. and takea look at the teeth further back. they don’t look too bad but i would want the vet to takea look at that and see if they should get it off. it is fairly dark brown and yellowishin color and looks like it actually if you can see it from the side; it looks like ithas some texture to it. good boy. when you see something like that, you want to takeyour dog in. if you press on the gums and they bleed or sore, again that is anotherindication that you really do want to take

your dog into the vet. ideally each dog isgoing to see their veterinary practitioner once a year and the vet can take a look atthe teeth then but with older dogs you want to take special care. infections of the teethand gums can cause problems and can cause problems in older dogs with weight loss whichis not something that is good for a dog that needs to keep up its strength and health.so keep an eye on your dog’s teeth and if you see something that looks little bit worrying,a little bit strange, a little bit too dark, a little too much tartar buildup, do go aheadand bring them in to your vet and ask them how you should proceed.
