What to do for a toothless dog?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Dani busted out a bunch of his teeth when Amber was in season, trying to get out of a crate. He's missing several of his front teeth and a couple front molars. Has anyone ever dealt with this much tooth loss, and what am I facing with him? I've never had this happen before. Poor guy.
