Dogs need TLC too
Dogs need TLC to help them be emotionally stable. I have had small and medium dogs (6 pounds-60 pounds) and have seen TLC work.
My mutt golder retriever lived over 18 years-at the end of his life, the TLC kept him going. I remember when he was 13-15 he still had the strength to run and jump on me. At the end, the only form of play he could manage to do is put his head on my lap. He would look at me with those big brown eyes in a way that I interpreted as love.

dog dental care
it is important to brush your dogs teeth regularly. you can buy dog toothpaste in any pet supply store. getting started is the hard part. It will take a while for you and your dog to work out a time of day and method for brushing. Here are some tips to get started:
- go to the pet store and buy dog toothpaste and tooth brush. There are many types of tooth brushes. with my 6 pound tea cup chihuahua, the pet store dental brushes did not work, so I actually bought an Oral B kids first toothbrush which works great.
- pick a time of day and location to brush your dogs teeth. consistency is important to build this tooth brushing habit, so try to pick a time and location you can use daily
- after brushing your dogs teeth, you should reward him/her. I have a specific Omega 3 treat that I give to my dog after every brushing.
