How often should I brush my dog's teeth? - Oakdale Veterinary Group

How often do you brush your own teeth? Most people brush their pet's teeth once a month. That really doesn't do much. They go to the groomer, and the groomer cleans them, giving them a quick brush. To have good healthcare, however, you need to brush your dog's teeth at least once a day. If you brush once a month they're still going to get 29 days out of the month where they get plaque and disease forming, so try to make that a daily occurrence.

How do I know that my kitten is getting enough to eat? - Oakdale Veterinary Group

When kittens are getting enough to eat, they’ll get a nice big fat belly. Well-fed kittens won't feel too ribby over the back. If you have food down and the kittens are eating it, your cat will self-regulate. If your kitten is not eating, then you should be worried and take them to the vet.

How often do kittens need to eat? - Oakdale Veterinary Group

A lot! They have tiny stomachs, so you don't need to restrict how much they're eating. When they're over a year, they can get fat. You'll need to be careful with what you feed them. But as a kitten, they may eat every couple of hours.
