If there is one area of canine grooming that is often overlooked, it is the dog’s teeth. Most dog owners remember to brush the coat until it shines and to clip the nails so they don’t click on the floor, but not everyone cares for canine tooth brushing.

Summer is here, and many dog owners enjoy taking their dogs along when they go to the lake, the beach, or the pool. Educating your puppy buyers about water safety for their dogs is a good idea, as many people don’t understand that all dogs can’t swim or that there are some serious hazards in...
