Demand a Dental Exam With Your Puppy Visit to Vet

Many dog and cat breeds have been over-bred/inbred to the point that undesirable malocclusions have reared their ugly face!  I have seen an alarming amount of overbites and underbites that cause tremendous pain and discomfort for a puppy.  Please make sure your veterinarian examines in detail your new puppy’s occlusion.  Treating a malocclusion very early in a puppy’s life not only eliminates pain and discomfort, but also may allow the jaw to grow to its full genetic potential, without having impedance by having a bad bite.
