Facebook Pet Dental Health Contest Winner! 
Marty loves to give dog kisses to his parents and canine sisters. Not only will he gain a healthy mouth from a free dental exam and cleaning, but he might gain a few kisses...rather than winces...in return!
Thank you to everyone who participated--you'll receive 5% off a dental exam and cleaning during February at Doylestown Veterinary Hospital. 

If your adult dog or cat has never had a dental exam and cleaning, please contact your veterinarian to schedule an appointment or call DVH at 215-345-6000 today.

Tips & Tricks     
Homemade Breath Mints for Dogs
10 crackers, crushed or 1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup mint leaves, finely chopped or pureed (you can find fresh mint in the produce area of your favorite store)
Water

Combine the first 2 ingredients in a bowl.

Slowly add small amounts of water to the mixture until the ingredients stick together, without being runny (about 4 tbsp).
Make dime-sized treats by rolling a small amount of the mixture between your fingers to form little balls as individual bite-sized mints. 
Place the individual dog breath mints on a sheet of waxed paper and store in freezer. 
Give a few at a time to your dog, as needed.
Makes about 20 small mints.
