Your dog’s worn-down, chipped, or broken teeth could be from play or age, but there may be something deeper going on related to your pet’s behavior or physical health.  Dogs explore the world through their mouths. They chew, carry toys, play tug, fetch, and sometimes gnaw on items you wish they would not. When tooth wear goes beyond normal use, it is time to ask why. Here are some common reasons for worn, broken, or fractured teeth and what they could mean about your pet’s emotional or physical well-being: teeth5.jpg – Caption.

It can be concerning to see your dog struggling during walks, and there are several potential reasons for this change in behavior.

Take a Breath (TAB) can teach your dog to take deep breaths, helping them relax and manage their stress in difficult situations.

City living can be challenging for dogs who like to explore with their mouths. More than just empty bottles, cigarette butts, and spilled trash, potentially toxic items can be interesting to your dog.

Natural disasters can affect families and pets everywhere, often forcing people and their pets to evacuate and relocate to areas with limited resources for an undetermined time. Early preparation helps people and pets leave quickly with less stress.

Pattern Games give your dog a clear set of rules, creating predictability in different situations.
