Sydney Pet Dentistry was established in 2007 to offer a referral service for veterinarians in Sydney and surrounds in the field of veterinary dentistry. All pets deserve to have a healthy, pain-free mouth. Through our referral service and our educational programs for veterinarians and nurses, Sydney Pet Dentistry strives to achieve this goal, focussing on the welfare aspects of veterinary dentistry.

Dr Christine Hawke, the founder of Sydney Pet Dentistry and lecturer in the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Sydney, is currently undergoing specialist training as an alternate pathway resident in Veterinary Dentistry.

Common Dental Problems For Competition Dogs – Puppy Problems

Do you breed or show dogs? Does your dog compete in sporting events? Do you have a puppy and want to know if it has a ‘good bite’?  A healthy mouth is important for all dogs, and the first few months of development are critical in determining whether your dog will have a happy smile or a lifetime of dental pain.

I am frequently surprised by some of the myths I hear about dog jaw development and abnormal bites, especially when it comes to genetics and nutrition. I have written this book to help dispel some of these myths. It also provides handy information on treatment options if your puppy does have a dental problem, and when to contact a vet for advice.

This book is the first in a series on common dental problems which are particularly relevant to  breeding, showing, working and sporting dogs (but equally applicable to pet dogs too!). It is free of charge and it contains a real wealth of information that can help you understand and deal appropriately with dental problems before it is too late.

Just fill in the form and you can download it for free. Enjoy the read!
