*AN ALERT: Anecdotal evidence warrants concern
that some German Pinschers may have adverse reactions to anesthesia drugs.
All dog breeds are susceptible to periodontal and dental problems, and
German Pinschers are no exception. Periodontal diseases in dogs have been
linked to systemic diseases and premature births. To promote dental and
periodontal heath, have your dog's teeth routinely checked by your
veterinarian, and brush your dog's teeth with toothpaste designed for dogs. Do
not use baking soda or human toothpaste (too much sodium). Ask your vet about
products that can be added to drinking water to discourage plaque growth. Seek
holistic veterinarians for natural products. Provide veterinarian-approved chew
products. Routinely inspect toys for damage. *NOTE : Some
German Pinschers do not lose their deciduous puppy canines and may need them
removed by a veterinarian.
