Re: cats teeth and other ways to spend our money

DF: Actually, I have seen both cats and dogs with rotted teeth...makes
getting older hell on them. Once we started having animals, we decided
we'd sooner pay for a once yearly cleaning than make the poor babies
suffer through not being able to eat a decent meal when they were old.
Course now with three kids, the teeth cleanings for the animals actually
happen about every 18 months instead of 12...
