🦷 JUST HOW BIG ARE THOSE TOOFFERS?!

Well, grab your tape measures and your existential dread, because this canine's canine is 1.5 inches long. That's right, 1.5 inches of pure dental intimidation. And here's the kicker: 1 full inch of that is root. ROOT!

So next time your pup grabs the end of a rope toy and refuses to let go like it's a personal vendetta, remember. Those tooffers are anchored in by roots, like nature's grappling hooks in a game of tug-of-war against nature's furry little velociraptors.

Basically, your dog's mouth is a medieval weapon disguised as a kiss dispenser.

Why Do Hot Spots Happen—And How Can You Prevent Them?

Hot spots are red, irritated, fast-spreading bacterial skin infections that make your dog miserable. Allergies, bug bites, and skin abrasions often trigger them. Dogs will chronically lick the irritation, the constant moisture causes the bacteria to grow rapidly, resulting in large, oozing wounds. Dr. Bruns points out, "Even bathing a dog with skin irritation, especially those with heavy coats, can cause the bacteria to grow rapidly." The result? A painful, itchy, oozy spot your dog won't leave alone.

Common causes:

🦟 Flea bites or allergies
😟 Skin abrasions, often from over-scratching
🐾 Heavy or matted fur that easily retains moisture
🌿 Contact with allergens like grass
😟 Stress-related licking or chewing

Prevention starts with tackling root causes. Keep your dog flea-free year-round. Bath and brush regularly, especially after swimming or baths, and blow-dry their coats to keep the skin clean and dry. If allergies are a factor, consult your veterinarian about medicated shampoos to alleviate the itch. And don't overlook mental health! Bored or anxious dogs are more likely to overgroom.

Some dogs are more prone than others: Goldens, Labs, and Shepherds. However, all dogs benefit from regular skin checks and proper grooming.

Dr. Schwendemann is not cranking up a tiny pom-pom dance party; she's checking sweet little Oliver's tail for signs of pain. 🐾

This petite Pomeranian has been feeling a little ouchy in the tail department, possibly a tail dislocation.

With a careful exam and a whole lotta TLC, we're hoping Oliver will be wagging and wiggling his way back to his usual spunky self in no time! 💚

🦷 OH WOW! MOUTH MAKEOVER EDITION

Check out this jaw-dropping transformation.

Yes, there are actually teeth under all that tartar! In this photo, the difference is crystal clear:

👉 The lower teeth have been professionally cleaned by Dr. Schwendemann, revealing a sparkling smile.

👉 The upper teeth? Still buried under layers of thick, yellow-brown tartar. 😬

How does this much tartar build up? Well, some dogs, like some people, are more prone to tartar buildup. Here's why:

🐾 Breed matters – Smaller breeds like Yorkies, Chihuahuas, and Dachshunds, along with short-nosed breeds like Bulldogs, Pugs and Boxers, tend to have crowded mouths, which makes it harder to keep their teeth clean.

🐾 Diet and chewing habits – Dogs that eat mostly soft food or don't chew on toys or bones are more likely to accumulate plaque.

🐾 Genetics – Just like people, some pups inherit bad teeth. They drew the short straw in the genetics pool.

Left untreated, tartar can lead to painful gum disease, tooth loss, and infections that spread to the heart, liver, or kidneys.

📞 If your pup's breath could knock you over or you see signs of buildup, it's time for a dental check. Let's turn those "yikes" into "pearly whites!"

🚨Portion Control Alert! 🚨
Feeding your 20 lb pet just 1 oz of cheese is like YOU scarfing down 2.5 cheeseburgers in one sitting. 😳🍔🍔🍔

That "tiny treat" might not feel so tiny to your furry friend's waistline or their health. Be mindful of high-calorie snacks and opt for pet-safe, portion-controlled options instead. 💚🐾

🐾 Helping Paws, Healing Hearts 🐾

We know that sometimes life throws curveballs, and when it does, vet bills can be overwhelming. But financial hardship shouldn't stand between your pet and the care they need.

This incredible nonprofit helps families facing medical hardships by providing financial assistance for veterinary care. Whether it's surgery, treatments, or urgent medical needs, they’re here to help pet parents in crisis.

Founded in memory of two beloved Labrador Retrievers, this foundation has grown into a national force for good—even receiving a heartfelt endorsement from the one and only Betty White. 💛

If you or someone you know is struggling to afford care for a beloved animal companion, visit onyxandbreezy.org to learn more or apply for help.

🙌 And a big shoutout to All Paws Rescue for sharing this information and continuing to be a voice for pets in need. We’re proud to support rescues like theirs who go above and beyond for our local pet community.

We're all in this together—because every pet deserves a chance at a healthy, happy life.

🐾 DAILY DOSE OF CUTE: OLIVER 🐾

Click for a full dose of fluffy fabulousness ➡️➡️

This is Oliver, the pint-sized Pom with mega-sized swagger. He may be rockin' what looks like furry snow boots and a fantabulous fur hat… but that runway look isn’t from New York's top designers, its thanks to a common condition in dogs: hypothyroidism.

🧠 What's the thyroid got to do with fur?

A dog's thyroid gland regulates metabolism, and when it's underactive (a condition called hypothyroidism), one of the first signs is... you guessed it... HAIR LOSS. It typically appears around the tail, hind legs, or trunk, and can cause the fur to become thin or patchy. However, don't worry; it's manageable with medication and regular monitoring.

Oliver's got style, smarts, and seriously sparkly attitude, and he's here to prove that a little hair loss can't dull your shine ✨

💚 Give Oliver some love in the comment
