My dog won't let me brush his teeth. What are some common signs of dental disease in pets, and how can it be prevented besides brushing obviously?

Bleeding gums, yellow teeth, and bad breath are the most common signs. If you've been feeding it the same food for a while, maybe try choosing a different brand.

Bad breath is the most obvious sign! Google “Periodontal Disease in Dogs” for more info, and pictures!
Stage 1: Tartar begins building up and gums begin to redden.
Stage 2: Gums continue to be swollen and bone loss begins to develop.
Stage 3: Bone loss continues to occur.
Stage 4: Severe bone loss can lead to loss of teeth and bloody gums.

You can prevent this by giving your dog dental chews, purchasing water additives from your veterinarian, or by getting dental cleanings under Anesthesia!

Persistent stinky breath is a very common complaint in veterinary medicine. You can also look out for gums that bleed easily or pus around the tooth. If your pet has also had changes in appetite, difficulty swallowing, vomiting, or diarrhea, you should call the vet sooner rather than later. These may be signs of a more serious underlying problem that needs to be addressed quickly.

Diets ( main food) Treats , powders, gels , wipes. Consult the vohc.org list for dogs

Okay, it’s time to stop putting on a face about this. I love my boyfriend so much, but covid is ruining us. We are both still WFH and argue every few days about the dumbest stuff. My and his mental health are both diminishing and it feels like an impossible trench to dig out of. My stomach hurts every time we fight and I (independent of him) feel so stuck in this horrible global crisis. I don’t want to lose him, but I need to figure out how to dig us both out of this unsustainable mental state.
