Sweet Lola

This month’s Pet of the Month is Lola. She is a 7 year old Chihuahua mix that has been coming to Dogwood since June 2007. Her visits to Dogwood have been great! She is overall a healthy small breed dog coming to us for vaccines, blood tests and almost yearly dental cleanings. You see, like many small breed dogs, Lola suffers from chronic dental disease. Chronic Dental Disease is when there is a build up of tartar and gingivitis (gum disease) leading to 12 tooth extractions! Now with many of the teeth gone that were causing her to be uncomfortable, Lola is doing great and enjoying her summer with her family!
