Comet is all settled in at his new home!

Yay! Comet finally hit the jackpot and has a wonderful family to dote on him. He was one of our favorite dogs and every time we showed him to a prospective family he would make it to their top two and every time the other dog would go home. Well, maybe that was for the best because he really got lucky and has a great home with people who will appreciate him in all of his quirky perfection. Comet finally has a home where he can squeek his toys until his heart's content :)

Keep those teeth clean!

Dental care is an important part of your greyhound's overall health. According to the American Animal Hospital Association over sixty percent of pet owners fail to provide dental care considered essential by veterinarians. Proper dental care is so essential to your dog's heath that studies have found that dogs may experience depression because of failure to address this aspect of their well being.

American Veterinary Medical Association president James Cook, DVM says "Oral disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem for pets. Twice-a-year checkups, including an oral health checkup, are important to ensure your pet is not in pain and is not suffering from serious oral health problems. Besides causing receding gums and tooth loss, bacteria in the mouth can enter the bloodstream, potentially infecting the heart, liver and kidneys, which can be potentially life threatening."

Making dental care part of your standard veterinary checkups is important to the long-term health of your greyhound. While in our care we monitor our adoptable greyhounds' oral health and have their teeth professionally cleaned before you take them home but it is up to you to ensure that they continue to get the care they need for a long healthy life.
