To those of you who own small breed dogs, it will come as no surprise to you that they are very susceptible to dental disease.
A recent study found the following breeds as being the top 10 when it can to tooth problems:
- Toy Poodle
- Yorkshire Terrier
- Maltese
- Pomeranian
- Shetland Sheepdog
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
- Papillion
- Standard Poodle
- Dachshund
- Havanese
All dogs should have their teeth checked regularly to make sure there are no problems. If you have any of the above breeds, plan on having a dental cleaning yearly, if not twice a year!! And, even then, your dog may lose teeth.
