Health Tips
Doggie Dental Care
Just like humans, dogs need regular dental care to maintain good oral health. Caring for your dog’s dental hygiene can help prevent bad breath, pain, and infections. Here are some helpful dental hygiene tips that we recommend:
- Regular Dental Checkups: Schedule regular veterinary checkups for your dog. Your vet can perform professional dental cleanings and assess your dog’s oral health.
- Daily Toothbrushing: Daily brushing is the most effective way to remove plaque and prevent tartar buildup. Use dog-specific toothpaste (human toothpaste is toxic to dogs).
- Dental Chews: Offer dental chews designed to help scrape away plaque. Look for chews approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC).
- Dental Toys: Provide your dog with dental toys that encourage chewing and help clean their teeth.
- Regular Water Intake: Encourage plenty of fresh water to help rinse away food particles.

What is a multi-generational Australian Labradoodle?
Multi-generational Australian Labradoodles are a cross between many different parent breeds. The breed originated in Australia in the 1980s with the intent of creating an allergy-friendly service dog for the blind. Australian Labradoodles are a combination of a Poodle, Labrador Retriever, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel, and Irish Water dogs. These breeds were hand-selected for specific breed qualities to create the ideal service dog for those with allergies. Since then, the breed has continued on and spread across the world. Australian Labradoodles are now considered their own breed with its own breed clubs (ALAA and WALA).
