Transcript:
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:32.840
Nessie: I'm Nessie.
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:34.480
Kat: Nice to meet you, Nessie.
00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:36.440
Kat: Oh, it's very close to me.
00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:38.600
Nessie: We're shaking hands, let's show you now.
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:40.300
Nessie: We do know each other already.
00:00:40.300 --> 00:00:43.200
Kat: No, I don't claim her.
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:44.720
Kat: fair enough.
00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:56.320
Nessie: Okay, so I was recently told by a friend slash colleague of mine that I'm not like, when, sometimes when we're talking, she thinks, she forgets that I'm not a normal person.
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:03.340
Nessie: So sometimes my stories are make her be like, she's like a sitcom character, but in real life somehow.
00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:06.600
Nessie: Because like my stories get real extra sometimes.
00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:12.620
Nessie: And so basically they don't claim me because I don't be like other people, which is fine.
00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:13.900
Nessie: I'd rather not be.
00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:20.100
Nessie: There's like a fly in here, and Kat is going crazy trying to keep it away from the microphone.
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:22.660
Nessie: And it makes me so funny and sick.
00:01:23.080 --> 00:01:27.400
Nessie: I can't hear it, but it goes honestly, yeah.
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.800
Nessie: But the way you swan at it reminds me of that song, A Bae Bae.
00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:34.600
Kat: A Bae Bae.
00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:37.340
Nessie: I have this rant about that song, A Bae Bae.
00:01:37.340 --> 00:01:41.300
Nessie: I'm not gonna go all over it and sing it, whatever, but it's like, A Bae Bae, that's my song, turn it up.
00:01:41.300 --> 00:01:43.440
Kat: A Bae Bae, that's my song.
00:01:43.440 --> 00:01:49.860
Nessie: In the song, at one point he mentions, he's like, it's so hot up in this club, but I ain't got no shoes on.
00:01:49.860 --> 00:01:56.200
Nessie: And then not too long after that, he's talking about how he's clapping his hands in the club like he's trying to catch a fly.
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:03.000
Nessie: And all I can think of is like, they let an unhoused person in the club, which is fine.
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.200
Nessie: Everyone is allowed to go wherever they need to go.
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:13.740
Nessie: But he's making this song, like he might be the cool guy in the club, but instead he's just like the shoeless man that is like clapping at air, he's wearing them plink.
00:02:13.740 --> 00:02:16.240
Nessie: Like he's quenching the fly, he's like not on beat with the song at all.
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.120
Nessie: And he's just like, hey, baby, that's my song.
00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:24.800
Nessie: And like his feet are leading sweat prints on the floor because you know, oh, baby.
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:26.780
Nessie: Hey, baby, that's my song.
00:02:26.780 --> 00:02:35.240
Nessie: Anyway, this song does not have the same effect as it should on other people because I just see like a crazy guy and clapping his hands randomly in a club in Bear Creek.
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.080
Kat: I swear the fly was there.
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.380
Nessie: It was there, I saw it.
00:02:38.380 --> 00:02:39.560
Kat: Okay, it died.
00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:48.560
Nessie: He had a terminal illness called SWAC.
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:59.000
Nessie: Okay, well, today, we're going to talk about dental health.
00:03:00.380 --> 00:03:03.300
Nessie: Noise, noise, noise.
00:03:03.300 --> 00:03:04.860
Nessie: I like it.
00:03:06.320 --> 00:03:10.880
Kat: But we gotta start with a review.
00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:12.220
Nessie: Okay, okay, we can do this.
00:03:12.220 --> 00:03:13.440
Kat: We're going right into it, girl.
00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:15.400
Nessie: Right in, yeah.
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:22.320
Nessie: This is a review for, off of Amazon, for Cop Math Dog Dental Wipes.
00:03:22.620 --> 00:03:26.700
Nessie: One star review from Amazon customer, Destiny.
00:03:26.700 --> 00:03:29.540
Nessie: I don't even really have to change it because he's anonymous.
00:03:29.540 --> 00:03:33.620
Nessie: Basic verified purchase, so it's a real review.
00:03:33.620 --> 00:03:40.600
Nessie: He says, this product is like using a finger puppet to brush your puppy's teeth.
00:03:40.600 --> 00:03:48.360
Nessie: It is stiff and bulky and falls off your finger, not sure that the liquid is of any value for a cleaning agent.
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:49.020
Nessie: Cost amount.
00:03:50.900 --> 00:03:55.240
Nessie: So this guy might have actually ordered a finger puppet.
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:03.000
Kat: Oh, that gives me like the shivers just thinking about like the fabric of a finger puppet on your teeth.
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:04.260
Kat: I don't like velvet.
00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:08.380
Kat: Like velvet freaks me out, and like things of that nature freak me out.
00:04:08.380 --> 00:04:08.620
Nessie: Right.
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.200
Kat: It's just a little pump.
00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:13.640
Nessie: Can you like, why do you-
00:04:13.640 --> 00:04:16.760
Nessie: Also, have you tried to brush your dog's teeth with a finger puppet before?
00:04:16.760 --> 00:04:20.020
Nessie: And that's how come you know that these teeth wipes feel like one.
00:04:20.020 --> 00:04:21.780
Kat: That's really disturbing.
00:04:23.820 --> 00:04:28.180
Nessie: It's so stiff and I tossed them in because they just weren't getting the teeth pulled.
00:04:28.180 --> 00:04:33.300
Kat: It just, you know, it entertained the kids, but not my dog's mouse, so...
00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:37.640
Nessie: Because it's a puppet.
00:04:37.640 --> 00:04:42.240
Nessie: Were you using your sock as a hand puppet and you used the switch?
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.680
Nessie: Here, come here, let me brush some teeth.
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.180
Nessie: It does the same thing.
00:04:47.180 --> 00:04:51.460
Kat: I mean, it might wipe off the black, but...
00:04:51.460 --> 00:04:55.080
Nessie: Don't take a sock puppet or a finger puppet to your dog's teeth.
00:04:55.080 --> 00:04:56.200
Kat: Yeah, maybe don't do that.
00:04:56.200 --> 00:04:57.500
Kat: Maybe use a toothbrush.
00:04:57.500 --> 00:04:59.160
Nessie: That's advice coming from the pros.
00:04:59.340 --> 00:05:01.380
Kat: From the pros, from the profession.
00:05:02.580 --> 00:05:05.640
Kat: So, dental health, very important.
00:05:05.640 --> 00:05:09.700
Kat: Animals can have the same issues that humans have when it comes to their teeth.
00:05:09.700 --> 00:05:19.060
Kat: A lot of the times, dental health is disregarded by owners, as pets aren't able to tell you when they're having dental pain, so it's not very obvious.
00:05:19.060 --> 00:05:25.800
Kat: Most of the times, they show no symptoms, which aids in the difficulty of identifying pain or discomfort.
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.140
Kat: But when they do, oftentimes, it's like pawing at the mouth.
00:05:29.180 --> 00:05:33.260
Kat: They're drooling or dropping food or something like that.
00:05:33.260 --> 00:05:35.160
Nessie: They also do something.
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.620
Kat: I do sometimes drool, but my teeth are fine.
00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:39.920
Nessie: They're very wet mouth like that.
00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:42.700
Nessie: Ew!
00:05:42.700 --> 00:05:43.900
Kat: You got a wet mouth.
00:05:45.420 --> 00:05:50.420
Nessie: Uncontrollably wet mouth, and I drool at uncontrollable moment.
00:05:50.420 --> 00:05:51.320
Nessie: Always the wrong one.
00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:53.740
Kat: You just get more exciting.
00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:56.720
Nessie: The longer I know you.
00:05:57.500 --> 00:06:00.100
Nessie: If you look for one dear, you do the stories.
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:00.960
Nessie: I have a few.
00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:03.280
Nessie: But I don't even know them.
00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:12.160
Kat: But this is why it's important to pay attention, use preventative measures, and have annual exams with your veterinarian.
00:06:12.260 --> 00:06:14.360
Nessie: Well, I like annual veterinarian exams.
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:15.900
Kat: Yeah, which means yearly.
00:06:17.260 --> 00:06:20.400
Nessie: But yeah, yearly, we covered that in the episode.
00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:21.880
Nessie: We did, if you want to.
00:06:21.880 --> 00:06:22.320
Nessie: Right?
00:06:23.020 --> 00:06:25.080
Nessie: Y'all check them out if you're new here.
00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:31.400
Kat: Yeah, check out our previous episodes, because we have four and a half.
00:06:31.400 --> 00:06:35.180
Nessie: Yeah, yeah, we're on, we're on, I'm probably on five.
00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:37.160
Kat: I don't know, y'all know.
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.540
Nessie: Count them out for us, and I'm just going to put them out on your fingers.
00:06:40.780 --> 00:06:43.600
Kat: I'm gonna leave it there, I'm gonna leave it there.
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.440
Kat: I'm pretty good at that.
00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:50.100
Kat: So teeth, teeth are calcified structures that aid in chewing food.
00:06:50.100 --> 00:06:53.980
Kat: So there's the incisors, canines, pre-molars, and molars.
00:06:53.980 --> 00:06:58.120
Kat: The crown of the tooth is what's visible, and it's poking out of the gums.
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:03.260
Kat: The root, it's underneath the gums, and it's attached to the bone of the jaw.
00:07:03.260 --> 00:07:07.560
Kat: So level one of the tooth, all the way inside, is the pole.
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:09.300
Kat: It's the innermost portion of the tooth.
00:07:09.540 --> 00:07:13.020
Kat: It has blood vessels and nerves and collagen.
00:07:13.020 --> 00:07:16.960
Kat: And if the pulp is not protected, the tooth becomes infected and dies.
00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:19.340
Kat: So it's pretty important.
00:07:19.340 --> 00:07:21.020
Kat: Layer two is the dentin.
00:07:21.020 --> 00:07:25.740
Kat: It is created by cells in the outer layer called odontoblasts.
00:07:25.740 --> 00:07:30.240
Kat: This layer has many tubules that contain fluid and nerve fiber.
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:35.020
Kat: It's continuously produced throughout an animal's life unless the pulp is damaged or infected.
00:07:35.860 --> 00:07:42.080
Kat: Dentin exposure is painful and it can occur from wear, fractures and things like that.
00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:44.860
Kat: Layer three is the cementum.
00:07:44.860 --> 00:07:51.020
Kat: It covers the dentin layer of the tooth and it preserves the tooth and anchors it to the bony socket.
00:07:51.020 --> 00:07:53.200
Kat: And then layer four is the enamel.
00:07:53.200 --> 00:07:56.960
Kat: It is the hard outer layer of the tooth above the gum line.
00:07:56.960 --> 00:07:58.660
Kat: It does not regenerate.
00:07:58.760 --> 00:08:01.100
Kat: It is the hardest substance in the body.
00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:05.880
Kat: It protects the dentin and keeps the tooth from damage.
00:08:05.880 --> 00:08:10.580
Kat: So, that is the layers of your tooth up, but you didn't know it had layers.
00:08:10.580 --> 00:08:11.520
Kat: It's like onions.
00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:13.340
Kat: It's like an onion or an ogre.
00:08:13.340 --> 00:08:14.620
Kat: It's an ogre.
00:08:14.620 --> 00:08:16.600
Kat: It's layered.
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.300
Kat: So, halitosis.
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.040
Kat: It is an offensive odor coming from a pet's mouth.
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.180
Nessie: It sometimes offensively comes from a person's mouth too.
00:08:26.200 --> 00:08:28.260
Kat: Yeah, sometimes it'll knock you over.
00:08:28.780 --> 00:08:31.260
Kat: It'll burn you nose and ears.
00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:36.140
Nessie: I am the very in tune with smells as you made up.
00:08:36.140 --> 00:08:39.880
Kat: She's like, where's that catfish smell coming from?
00:08:39.880 --> 00:08:41.640
Kat: And I'm like, what?
00:08:41.640 --> 00:08:43.480
Kat: And she'll follow her nose.
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:44.140
Nessie: Find it.
00:08:44.140 --> 00:08:46.120
Nessie: Like the toucan.
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:47.700
Kat: You're like a bloodhound girl.
00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:49.180
Kat: Oh, my God.
00:08:51.500 --> 00:08:52.400
Nessie: Yeah.
00:08:52.400 --> 00:09:00.500
Kat: The most common cause of halitosis is periodontal disease caused by plaque, which is bacteria in the mouth.
00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:08.420
Kat: That becomes calculus, also known as dental tartar, and it's a hardened buildup of plaque.
00:09:08.420 --> 00:09:19.180
Kat: The longer the bacteria stays on the teeth, the more irritating it can become to the gum line, which can cause gingivitis, which is swelling, redness, irritation of the gums.
00:09:19.180 --> 00:09:29.320
Kat: And if this is allowed to progress, the inflammation can cause the gums to recess away from the gum line, creating pockets, which creates infection.
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.200
Kat: This is called periodontitis.
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:39.340
Kat: Plaque can build up underneath the gum line, and it can cause destruction, and it has potential to deteriorate the bond.
00:09:39.340 --> 00:09:46.800
Kat: It can make the teeth become painful and loose and wiggly, which means we got to take them out.
00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:55.520
Kat: That's why annual exams with your veterinarian is important, because it gives us an idea of what the exterior of the pet's teeth look like.
00:09:55.520 --> 00:10:01.960
Kat: So we can see gingivitis and loose teeth, and see like calculus build up and stuff like that.
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:11.120
Kat: But most dental disease exists underneath the gum line, so it's important to have dental cleanings and x-rays done under anesthesia.
00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:16.580
Nessie: So, Clay, why can't you do it with them a week?
00:10:16.580 --> 00:10:25.100
Kat: It is important to do dental exams and cleanings and things like that under general anesthesia in animals.
00:10:25.100 --> 00:10:30.620
Kat: Because if you think about it, humans when they go to the dentist, they know what's happening.
00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:34.400
Kat: They know that you're going to be digging around in their mouth and stuff like that.
00:10:34.400 --> 00:10:37.560
Kat: So and you can talk to them and express what's going on.
00:10:37.560 --> 00:10:43.660
Kat: But animals, they react differently because they don't know why you're digging around in their mouth.
00:10:43.660 --> 00:10:47.680
Kat: So they'll try to escape or wiggle or bite or do whatever.
00:10:47.680 --> 00:10:54.120
Kat: So you can't get a good dental exam done on a pet unless it's under general anesthesia.
00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:03.000
Kat: Because you can look at the teeth and look at the gums and do x-rays and do all these things that you couldn't do if the pet was awake.
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.120
Nessie: I've had dental x-rays done before.
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:05.960
Nessie: They're awful.
00:11:07.020 --> 00:11:10.380
Kat: Yeah, the little plate doesn't feel too good in your mouth.
00:11:10.380 --> 00:11:12.200
Nessie: It doesn't fit well in the mouth.
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:17.260
Nessie: I may have a wet mouth, but I have a small mouth and the plates didn't fit well.
00:11:17.260 --> 00:11:19.560
Nessie: And it was a very uncomfortable time.
00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:20.840
Kat: A small, wet mouth.
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.320
Nessie: The girl, not ideal.
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.580
Kat: Not ideal, but it's fine.
00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:26.700
Nessie: I get through life well.
00:11:26.700 --> 00:11:29.280
Kat: At least it's not a dry mouth.
00:11:30.680 --> 00:11:31.820
Kat: That would be kind of gross.
00:11:32.660 --> 00:11:34.940
Kat: It's making my mouth your favorite.
00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:36.160
Nessie: Get that?
00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:38.360
Kat: Got to wet my whistle.
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.220
Nessie: Wet my fristle.
00:11:40.220 --> 00:11:41.300
Kat: Fristle.
00:11:41.300 --> 00:11:42.700
Kat: I dropped it.
00:11:42.760 --> 00:11:45.840
Nessie: I feel like, you know, my whistle.
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:47.100
Nessie: I can't do anything.
00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:48.160
Nessie: I can do a lisp.
00:11:48.160 --> 00:11:53.920
Nessie: See, I have like a character in my head that I'm trying to portray, but it's not coming out like how it is in my brain.
00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:55.260
Kat: I know who you're trying to portray.
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:57.500
Nessie: Anyway, I had an idea.
00:11:57.500 --> 00:12:00.400
Nessie: What about with whistle?
00:12:00.400 --> 00:12:02.020
Nessie: This is...
00:12:02.020 --> 00:12:03.160
Kat: So what?
00:12:03.160 --> 00:12:05.160
Nessie: This was going swell.
00:12:05.160 --> 00:12:17.760
Kat: So anyway, in pets, we call a dental cleaning exam, all that stuff, a co-hat, which is comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment.
00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:19.300
Kat: Say that 10 times fast.
00:12:19.300 --> 00:12:21.540
Nessie: And you can wear a hat.
00:12:21.540 --> 00:12:24.680
Kat: You can wear a hat or a co-hat.
00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:27.360
Kat: We put little hats on your pet.
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:29.160
Kat: And they have dental cleans.
00:12:29.160 --> 00:12:31.360
Kat: Just kidding, we don't do that.
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.200
Kat: We should though.
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:34.400
Nessie: What kind of hat would it be?
00:12:34.400 --> 00:12:36.580
Kat: I don't know, it'd probably get fat.
00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:38.920
Kat: Absolutely a top hat, a fedora.
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.040
Nessie: I want a fedora too.
00:12:43.400 --> 00:12:47.520
Kat: I'm going to get you a little tiny fedora.
00:12:48.900 --> 00:12:49.560
Nessie: I'm just kidding.
00:12:49.560 --> 00:12:51.420
Nessie: It would get wet.
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:53.340
Kat: Yeah, it would get wet and juicy.
00:12:53.380 --> 00:12:55.080
Nessie: I would hate that.
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.220
Kat: The word juicy did just remind me of...
00:12:59.040 --> 00:12:59.940
Kat: You're concerned.
00:12:59.940 --> 00:13:00.960
Nessie: Don't be concerned.
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:05.460
Kat: I'm concerned anytime you're like, hey, you want to hear this thing.
00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:17.420
Nessie: It reminded me that I recently bought a pair of sweatpants that say juicy on the butt because I am ready to bring back the word on the butt phase from the 90s or whatever.
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:21.920
Nessie: I had all the pants with names on the butt, so it's time to bring that back.
00:13:21.920 --> 00:13:24.980
Kat: Where did you find pants with the word juicy on it?
00:13:24.980 --> 00:13:34.520
Nessie: They're called what not, and you bid for things that are either new or returned items, and these were new tags.
00:13:34.520 --> 00:13:38.860
Nessie: And they're made out of that velvet or pantsuit material.
00:13:38.860 --> 00:13:46.780
Nessie: Back when you had the matching pant and jacket material, they're like real soft, and they fade across the butt.
00:13:47.100 --> 00:13:52.800
Nessie: They're juicy couture, so they're name brand and fancy, but how fancy are you if you walk around with the words on your butt?
00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:54.640
Kat: You lost me out, velvet.
00:13:54.640 --> 00:13:56.300
Nessie: I don't think it's a velvet for sure.
00:13:56.300 --> 00:14:00.920
Nessie: It's hard to explain the material, but it's like a soft, nice feeling.
00:14:00.920 --> 00:14:06.360
Kat: I know, but velvet and anything close to velvet, like that fuzzy, like.
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:06.880
Nessie: Yeah.
00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:09.740
Kat: I know it's soft, but it just makes my fingernails ache.
00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:18.280
Kat: If you don't have something that just like makes you feel like, like some people, like my roommate, she hates cotton balls.
00:14:18.280 --> 00:14:20.780
Kat: She hates the way they feel and they get rid of the shivers.
00:14:20.780 --> 00:14:23.560
Kat: My mom hates wooden spoons.
00:14:24.020 --> 00:14:24.960
Kat: Mine is velvet.
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.960
Nessie: Mine is orange slices.
00:14:30.180 --> 00:14:37.540
Nessie: Like the skin or just like the whole idea of somebody putting an orange slice in their mouth.
00:14:37.540 --> 00:14:38.920
Kat: Why?
00:14:38.920 --> 00:14:43.100
Nessie: It reminds me of like old people gums.
00:14:43.100 --> 00:14:44.820
Nessie: Like pictures.
00:14:44.820 --> 00:14:48.040
Nessie: Like you might just be chewing on someone's gums.
00:14:48.040 --> 00:14:54.460
Nessie: And it has like weird, the weird like strings on the orange piece, you know.
00:14:54.460 --> 00:14:55.920
Kat: So you don't like oranges?
00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:02.680
Nessie: No, I can't get past the texture, and I don't like the way they feel in my mouth.
00:15:02.680 --> 00:15:05.700
Nessie: And they give me the shivers when other people put it in their mouth.
00:15:05.700 --> 00:15:08.920
Nessie: I did not expect you to say orange slices.
00:15:08.920 --> 00:15:12.300
Nessie: I thought you were going to say like Q-tips or something.
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:13.680
Nessie: Am I the normal thing for once?
00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:14.560
Nessie: No, I'm not.
00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:16.040
Kat: Absolutely not.
00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:17.060
Nessie: Wow.
00:15:17.060 --> 00:15:17.740
Kat: Okay.
00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:18.140
Kat: We'll see.
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.120
Kat: I feel like everyone has a thing.
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.920
Kat: Like, it's velvet for me.
00:15:22.920 --> 00:15:24.860
Kat: It's the velvet for me.
00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:26.680
Nessie: It is.
00:15:26.680 --> 00:15:30.900
Nessie: So back on track to our juicy top hats.
00:15:30.900 --> 00:15:33.240
Kat: Juicy top hats, okay.
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:47.880
Kat: The first step in a co-hat is looking at the oral cavity, examining it, and just looking for anything abnormal, like loose teeth or like nastiness or epilysis?
00:15:47.880 --> 00:15:52.160
Kat: Epilysis, masses, anything odd or abnormal.
00:15:52.160 --> 00:16:02.880
Kat: Then we use a ultrasonic scaler to scale the teeth, which is just cleaning off all the plaque and the grossness, breaking off calculus, stuff like that.
00:16:02.880 --> 00:16:05.680
Kat: Then we polish them, because they gotta be nice and pearly.
00:16:06.340 --> 00:16:13.020
Kat: And actually, the ultrasonic scaler, it causes little teeny tiny micro scratches.
00:16:13.020 --> 00:16:17.240
Kat: So you have to polish the teeth after you use the scaler.
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:22.840
Kat: So that way, like there wouldn't be any damage or anything or any ridges or micro-zener.
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:24.920
Nessie: Ridges will attract more plaque.
00:16:24.920 --> 00:16:25.200
Kat: Yeah.
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.460
Nessie: And therefore you'll be back to square one again.
00:16:27.460 --> 00:16:29.920
Kat: So polishing it just buffs it out.
00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:46.380
Nessie: And as an OSHA supervisor, I can't help but mention at this point that while to any technicians that might be listening, while you're doing this co-hat, I know it's not cool or it might fog up your glasses if you're wearing glasses, but it's really important to have PPE on for this.
00:16:46.380 --> 00:16:49.660
Nessie: You need to be wearing a mask over your face.
00:16:49.660 --> 00:16:55.060
Nessie: You need to be wearing goggles or your glasses or something covering your eyes and gloves.
00:16:55.060 --> 00:16:56.340
Nessie: You just don't want that.
00:16:56.340 --> 00:16:59.400
Nessie: You don't want to be breathing in that bacteria that you're scaling off the teeth.
00:16:59.860 --> 00:17:01.760
Nessie: It's a bad time for your life.
00:17:02.260 --> 00:17:03.780
Kat: Yeah, don't be nasty.
00:17:03.780 --> 00:17:05.300
Nessie: Don't be nasty.
00:17:05.300 --> 00:17:06.060
Kat: Good.
00:17:06.060 --> 00:17:11.540
Nessie: And I know it's not the cutest look, but also you won't have a weird lung thing, so.
00:17:11.540 --> 00:17:14.600
Kat: Yeah, you don't want to inhale plaque bacteria.
00:17:14.600 --> 00:17:15.540
Kat: Crusty.
00:17:15.540 --> 00:17:16.680
Kat: Don't be crusty.
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:22.260
Kat: I've seen a technician doing teeth without wearing a mask and I just entirely was like shivering.
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:24.880
Nessie: Gross.
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:28.660
Kat: All right, so then after we polish them, make them all pretty.
00:17:28.660 --> 00:17:31.040
Kat: The teeth are probed with a periodontal probe.
00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:38.660
Kat: It measures the depths of the pocket in between the teeth and the gums, and it can identify areas of detachment.
00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:49.000
Kat: So excess pocketing is bad because it's basically a breeding ground for bacteria, because food and debris accumulates and it can cause infection.
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.900
Kat: So we look for pocketing and weird things.
00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:55.160
Kat: X-rays, radiographs are then taken.
00:17:55.560 --> 00:18:02.820
Kat: It's important and near impossible to fully know tooth health without doing dental x-rays.
00:18:02.820 --> 00:18:09.800
Kat: So dental x-rays are very, very important because like I said, most of the disease happens beneath the gum line.
00:18:09.800 --> 00:18:16.280
Kat: So pocketing, root infections, fractures, tooth resorption, cancer, bone loss.
00:18:16.280 --> 00:18:19.320
Kat: So x-rays give us so much information.
00:18:19.320 --> 00:18:25.780
Kat: So doing x-rays is very important just for the overall health of the mouth, just to see what's going on underneath.
00:18:25.780 --> 00:18:27.560
Nessie: Oh my god, health of the mouth?
00:18:27.560 --> 00:18:28.600
Nessie: Health of the mouth?
00:18:29.360 --> 00:18:32.640
Nessie: I tried to say it like you do, but I couldn't, but anyway, I liked it.
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:34.940
Nessie: It sounded like some real bars.
00:18:36.040 --> 00:18:38.260
Nessie: Yeah, as in like rat bars.
00:18:38.260 --> 00:18:39.260
Kat: I was throwing bars.
00:18:39.260 --> 00:18:40.380
Nessie: Yeah.
00:18:40.380 --> 00:18:41.460
Kat: Does that actually say that?
00:18:41.780 --> 00:18:42.720
Kat: Does that make me cool?
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:45.560
Nessie: We're not exactly rat experts.
00:18:45.560 --> 00:18:47.660
Kat: Yeah, I mean, it's okay.
00:18:47.660 --> 00:18:49.640
Kat: We don't have to be.
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:56.720
Kat: So it's important also to do x-rays because it can detect an early onset of problems.
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:04.000
Kat: So we can see the issue before it becomes an issue, and that way we can take care of it before the patient's uncomfortable.
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:17.060
Kat: And then the veterinarian needs to visualize the root of the teeth to know if the tooth needs removal and plan the best course of action for removal if that's the case.
00:19:17.060 --> 00:19:21.720
Kat: Because sometimes a tooth can be so diseased that it actually fuses to the bone.
00:19:22.520 --> 00:19:26.360
Kat: And it can make it impossible to remove without causing damage to the jaw.
00:19:26.360 --> 00:19:31.540
Kat: So x-rays can help determine if a tooth can or should be removed.
00:19:31.540 --> 00:19:34.340
Kat: The final part of a cohat is treatment.
00:19:34.340 --> 00:19:40.560
Kat: So this includes tooth removal, biopsies of masses or removal.
00:19:40.560 --> 00:19:47.780
Kat: And sometimes your pet may need like sutures in the mouth to close where the tooth was removed from.
00:19:47.780 --> 00:19:49.080
Kat: It's called a gingival flap.
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:58.320
Kat: The sutures normally dissolve on their own, but they can remain in the mouth for a couple of months because it takes it that long to dissolve.
00:19:58.320 --> 00:20:03.260
Kat: Work with your veterinarian as far as like aftercare for all of that goes.
00:20:03.260 --> 00:20:13.340
Kat: Sometimes like if teeth are removed, there can be like a little bit of blood or something in their food or a water bowl or something like that, which is common.
00:20:13.340 --> 00:20:22.340
Kat: But if it's excessive or your pet seems very painful or uncomfortable, definitely reach out to your veterinarian.
00:20:22.340 --> 00:20:25.400
Kat: Just make sure everything's good.
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.000
Kat: We'd rather you ask than not ask and it get really bad.
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.340
Nessie: So.
00:20:31.340 --> 00:20:42.340
Nessie: This is an Amazon product called Emmy's Best Advanced Pet Dental Care Water for Editive, Premium Cat and Dog Dental Care and Dog Breath Freshener.
00:20:42.340 --> 00:20:46.260
Nessie: No butch formula, tarter and plaque remover for dog's teeth.
00:20:46.260 --> 00:20:49.960
Nessie: You thought I was done, but I was just warming up.
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:51.260
Nessie: This had to take a breath.
00:20:51.260 --> 00:20:53.820
Nessie: I had to take a breath.
00:20:53.820 --> 00:20:59.440
Nessie: This is a one-star verified purchase from Natalie.
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:00.740
Kat: I hate Natalie.
00:21:00.740 --> 00:21:04.020
Nessie: Natalie Lagrange.
00:21:04.020 --> 00:21:04.900
Kat: It's French.
00:21:04.900 --> 00:21:05.840
Nessie: It's a French.
00:21:06.780 --> 00:21:09.140
Nessie: It's titled Minty Smell.
00:21:09.140 --> 00:21:11.280
Nessie: I have three cats.
00:21:11.500 --> 00:21:17.480
Nessie: Unfortunately, neither one of them will drink out of their bowl when I add this to the water.
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.340
Nessie: Found them drinking out of the toilet instead.
00:21:21.660 --> 00:21:29.940
Nessie: I tried restricting toilet access to them, but I'm concerned if they are not drinking enough water when I do that.
00:21:29.940 --> 00:21:33.240
Nessie: I think it is the minty smell that bothers them.
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:34.320
Kat: I could see that.
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.940
Kat: Cats be sniffing.
00:21:36.940 --> 00:21:38.660
Nessie: Cats do be sniffing.
00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:41.520
Nessie: How did the cat reach the toilet water?
00:21:41.520 --> 00:21:49.680
Kat: I have seen my cat drink out of the toilet, and I have discouraged this, and it's no longer a problem, but she's done it before.
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:54.560
Kat: They get in and they put their paws on the inside.
00:21:54.580 --> 00:21:55.840
Nessie: Oh, no.
00:21:55.840 --> 00:21:58.740
Kat: And then they reach down and lick.
00:21:58.740 --> 00:22:03.520
Nessie: Let's hope that a lot of grande here kept the toilet clean.
00:22:03.860 --> 00:22:09.360
Nessie: Because you don't want your paws like any of the 30 juice.
00:22:09.360 --> 00:22:12.460
Nessie: She's like, I want the toilet.
00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:15.500
Nessie: There's so much bacteria.
00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:17.360
Nessie: Get your cat out of the toilet.
00:22:17.360 --> 00:22:20.800
Nessie: Also, it says that she tried restricting the access, so I'm good for you.
00:22:20.800 --> 00:22:21.260
Kat: Yeah.
00:22:21.260 --> 00:22:29.340
Nessie: She was like, also, now you're going to be thirsty because you can no longer drink from this toilet, but you won't drink your weird, windy water.
00:22:29.340 --> 00:22:29.980
Nessie: Yeah.
00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:31.080
Nessie: Maybe you put too much in.
00:22:31.080 --> 00:22:32.980
Kat: Put it in the toilet water.
00:22:33.080 --> 00:22:35.520
Kat: But it's everywhere.
00:22:35.520 --> 00:22:36.360
Nessie: It's everywhere.
00:22:36.360 --> 00:22:37.680
Kat: Make a decision.
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:38.700
Nessie: That's the answer.
00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:38.940
Kat: Yeah.
00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:41.060
Nessie: It says, let's try that.
00:22:41.060 --> 00:22:42.480
Nessie: Did you dilute it right?
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:46.600
Kat: Maybe don't use minty-flavored stuff in your pet's water.
00:22:46.600 --> 00:22:51.820
Nessie: I know that you think minty breath is great, but like your pet doesn't like in breath.
00:22:51.820 --> 00:22:53.180
Nessie: They want to give up.
00:22:53.180 --> 00:22:56.360
Nessie: And you may hate this, but your cat probably wants fish breath.
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:57.800
Nessie: I know.
00:22:57.800 --> 00:22:59.420
Nessie: Your cat's into that.
00:22:59.420 --> 00:23:00.900
Kat: Fishy salmon breath.
00:23:00.900 --> 00:23:02.320
Nessie: Let me get some tuna breath.
00:23:02.560 --> 00:23:05.760
Nessie: Let me get some tuna, tuna melt breath.
00:23:05.760 --> 00:23:10.320
Nessie: You know what is the worst smell is tuna when people eat it in the clinic.
00:23:10.320 --> 00:23:11.380
Nessie: Like I get it.
00:23:11.380 --> 00:23:13.160
Nessie: I know why it dang.
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:17.120
Nessie: You see the smell of the eggs, especially if they're a little bit overcooked.
00:23:17.120 --> 00:23:25.400
Nessie: They just, the wafting smell down the veterinary hospital hallway is not always like the most invite.
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:26.740
Nessie: It doesn't make me hungry.
00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:29.320
Kat: It's overwhelming sometimes.
00:23:29.320 --> 00:23:29.880
Nessie: And I get it.
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:30.780
Nessie: Like eat your breakfast.
00:23:30.980 --> 00:23:31.480
Nessie: Do you?
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:32.560
Nessie: It's fine.
00:23:32.560 --> 00:23:36.920
Nessie: But I want you to know that some of the rest of us are like, what?
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:38.080
Nessie: She's fine.
00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:40.240
Kat: She's smiling like my cat's mouth.
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:41.940
Nessie: It's more like my cat's mouth in here.
00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:42.980
Kat: It will tune them out.
00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:44.960
Kat: Now, what happened?
00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:46.200
Nessie: I wanted to tune them out.
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:48.840
Kat: I do like to tune them out, but I'm not in this aspect.
00:23:48.840 --> 00:23:49.940
Nessie: I love to tune them out.
00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:52.000
Kat: I love a good tune them out.
00:23:52.020 --> 00:23:53.960
Kat: Anyway, read another one.
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:54.900
Kat: This is...
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.560
Nessie: Okay, I have several for this one.
00:24:00.560 --> 00:24:03.620
Nessie: And I love every single one of them, so I'll just hit you up with one of them.
00:24:03.620 --> 00:24:05.960
Nessie: These are for Arm and Hander.
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:08.280
Nessie: Arm and Hander.
00:24:08.280 --> 00:24:09.620
Kat: Hander over.
00:24:09.620 --> 00:24:14.860
Nessie: Arm and Hammer, Four Pets, Ringers, Dental Treats for Dogs.
00:24:14.860 --> 00:24:18.600
Nessie: And I have a one-star review from Tilly.
00:24:18.600 --> 00:24:20.640
Nessie: Verify purchase.
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.980
Nessie: This product literally took my dog's tooth out.
00:24:25.660 --> 00:24:27.580
Kat: That was the opposite of what we wanted.
00:24:27.580 --> 00:24:28.800
Nessie: Just the name of it.
00:24:28.800 --> 00:24:31.320
Nessie: Like it's about to kick.
00:24:31.320 --> 00:24:34.180
Nessie: This product literally took one of my dog's teeth out.
00:24:34.180 --> 00:24:37.120
Nessie: He is over 50 pounds and his mouth bled.
00:24:37.120 --> 00:24:41.280
Nessie: I will never order this again, and I will warn others to be careful of this.
00:24:41.280 --> 00:24:45.620
Nessie: I thought this was a good product to help with his teeth, breath, and healthy dental results.
00:24:45.620 --> 00:24:47.800
Nessie: I'm very upset about this.
00:24:47.800 --> 00:24:49.960
Kat: Maybe the truth was already needing to come out.
00:24:51.500 --> 00:24:52.400
Nessie: Maybe so.
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:59.500
Nessie: I will have you know that there were several one-star reviews claiming this product was too hard.
00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:03.920
Nessie: So maybe this was one of the stale hard ones that it bust the tooth out.
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:05.720
Nessie: But it's very possible it was already loose.
00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:14.520
Kat: A rule of thumb is if you can't bend it with your finger, it's probably not something that your dog should be chewing on, because it can crack and fracture teeth.
00:25:15.460 --> 00:25:28.300
Kat: So, but if you go to vohc.org, there are all kinds of things that you can offer your pet for dental health that is dental approved or whatever.
00:25:28.300 --> 00:25:29.060
Kat: They don't.
00:25:29.060 --> 00:25:30.320
Kat: Safer for them.
00:25:30.320 --> 00:25:31.740
Kat: They don't bludge your dog's teeth out.
00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:33.560
Kat: Yeah, you won't lose a tooth.
00:25:33.620 --> 00:25:40.920
Nessie: The ring shape of it, like were you playing tug of war with your dog and the ring just like, I don't know, why does it have to be ring shaped?
00:25:42.260 --> 00:25:44.220
Kat: It literally looks like a life saver.
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:51.320
Nessie: It has the green flowing through it, which makes it like, this looks like it's going to make my dog's breath go.
00:25:51.320 --> 00:25:56.360
Kat: I'd be afraid that they swallowed it, because it looks tiny.
00:25:56.360 --> 00:25:59.340
Nessie: I kind of want to give a little chew myself and see what happens.
00:25:59.340 --> 00:26:03.680
Kat: This little, have you ever eaten cat food or dog food?
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:06.300
Nessie: Well, obviously, yes.
00:26:06.300 --> 00:26:09.140
Kat: Well, it's like, you're like, I wonder if this is terrible.
00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:13.180
Kat: So like, I've crunched on one before, and it's pretty terrible.
00:26:13.180 --> 00:26:13.800
Kat: Yeah.
00:26:13.800 --> 00:26:22.180
Nessie: I don't know if I'm a believer, not a firm believer, but I had a thought that if it's not something that I would eat, well, it's in my tongue.
00:26:22.180 --> 00:26:23.020
Kat: Yeah.
00:26:23.020 --> 00:26:26.400
Nessie: And I would taste their like dog biscuit and stuff before I gave it to them.
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:29.120
Nessie: And sometimes those things be crunchy.
00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:41.880
Kat: So one day, so one told me a story, and she's like, yeah, so my dad or whoever, I gave him like, I went to the pet store and they gave me a bunch of free dog biscuits.
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:43.780
Kat: So I gave them to my dad.
00:26:43.780 --> 00:26:48.440
Kat: And later on, I walked by and he was eating them.
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:51.420
Kat: And it was like half the bag was gone.
00:26:51.420 --> 00:26:54.520
Kat: She was like, dad, those are dog biscuits.
00:26:54.520 --> 00:26:58.220
Kat: And he looked at it, I was like, well, I guess they are, because they were bone shaped.
00:26:58.220 --> 00:26:59.400
Kat: And then he kept eating them.
00:27:01.820 --> 00:27:03.200
Nessie: Oh, they're really good.
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:05.260
Nessie: I guess in that, I don't think they might be good.
00:27:05.260 --> 00:27:07.600
Kat: I think they were peanut butter flavor or something.
00:27:07.600 --> 00:27:10.740
Nessie: Bakery brands were coming around, they feel like a nice soft cookie.
00:27:10.740 --> 00:27:13.200
Kat: I mean, it probably just tasted like a peanut butter cookie.
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:16.460
Kat: And you just thought they were, but they're in dog bone shape.
00:27:16.460 --> 00:27:17.940
Kat: So like you'd assume.
00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:18.360
Nessie: Yeah.
00:27:18.360 --> 00:27:21.240
Kat: I don't know, he ate the whole bag, apparently.
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:23.400
Kat: This is not my story, it's one of my friend's stories.
00:27:23.540 --> 00:27:29.640
Nessie: But when I was a dog roomer, we used to have a dental tooth brushing package where we would brush your dog's teeth.
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:33.320
Nessie: And before they went out the door, we'd put like a little dental foam in their mouth.
00:27:33.320 --> 00:27:42.400
Nessie: And every dog that I like squirt the little foam in would like act like I just put poison in their mouth and they would like drool and they like fling it everywhere.
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:44.340
Nessie: And I'd be like, I wonder what's wrong with this stuff.
00:27:44.340 --> 00:27:49.480
Nessie: And so I squirted some in my mouth and it was awful.
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.400
Nessie: It did have a minty aftertaste after I got through all the poison of it taste.
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:54.920
Nessie: Oh, it was disgusting.
00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:59.580
Nessie: And I stopped putting it in Don's mouth and I refused to operate parts of the, as part of the package anymore.
00:27:59.580 --> 00:28:01.960
Nessie: That's kind of why I'm like, I'm gonna try to.
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:07.140
Kat: Yeah, I've accidentally gotten Bordatella in my mouth before.
00:28:07.140 --> 00:28:08.220
Nessie: What was that like?
00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:09.740
Kat: It's like salty.
00:28:09.740 --> 00:28:11.160
Kat: Like I understand why they hate it.
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:14.300
Kat: It's like a bad, like a salty sweet, kinda gross.
00:28:14.300 --> 00:28:15.820
Nessie: I'm kinda into salty sweet.
00:28:15.820 --> 00:28:16.940
Kat: No, it's real gross.
00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:17.900
Nessie: It's not good salty sweet.
00:28:17.900 --> 00:28:18.560
Kat: No, it's like-
00:28:18.560 --> 00:28:19.420
Nessie: Do you want a salty sweet?
00:28:19.660 --> 00:28:24.840
Kat: It's like sweet, like fake sugar is.
00:28:24.840 --> 00:28:25.600
Kat: What's it called?
00:28:25.600 --> 00:28:27.040
Kat: Sugar-free stuff.
00:28:27.040 --> 00:28:30.920
Kat: But like salty, like, I don't know.
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:32.140
Kat: It's hard to describe.
00:28:32.140 --> 00:28:33.240
Kat: It doesn't taste very good.
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.180
Nessie: I'm a big fan of sugar-free things, being pre-diabetic at this point in my life.
00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:38.380
Kat: Yeah.
00:28:38.380 --> 00:28:42.840
Kat: I've also tasted activated charcoal, which doesn't taste good either.
00:28:42.840 --> 00:28:43.540
Nessie: I don't know.
00:28:43.540 --> 00:28:44.940
Nessie: So did it taste like charcoal?
00:28:44.940 --> 00:28:47.880
Kat: It tastes like sugar-free stuff.
00:28:49.280 --> 00:28:50.580
Kat: Kind of like blueberries, maybe?
00:28:50.580 --> 00:28:51.000
Nessie: I don't know.
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:52.020
Nessie: Sugar-free blueberries?
00:28:52.020 --> 00:28:52.380
Nessie: Yeah.
00:28:52.380 --> 00:28:52.900
Nessie: I'm for it.
00:28:52.900 --> 00:28:53.460
Nessie: Let's do it.
00:28:53.460 --> 00:28:54.240
Kat: It's real odd.
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:58.620
Kat: Anyway, I'm going to talk about two things.
00:28:58.620 --> 00:28:59.160
Nessie: Okay.
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:03.180
Kat: The first thing is retained deciduous teeth.
00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:06.580
Kat: So if you have a puppy, you might hear this.
00:29:06.580 --> 00:29:14.040
Kat: And a retained deciduous teeth is just a tooth that is a baby tooth that was supposed to fall out, but didn't.
00:29:14.040 --> 00:29:18.040
Kat: So a lot of the times it's the canines that are like, will be behind the canines.
00:29:18.040 --> 00:29:21.840
Kat: It's just like a little tiny, like, looks like a baby tooth.
00:29:21.840 --> 00:29:25.440
Kat: They can cause infections and periodontal disease if they're left there.
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:27.680
Kat: So it is important to remove them.
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:30.860
Kat: But this can likely be done at the time of neuter or spay.
00:29:30.860 --> 00:29:34.480
Kat: It's they're not like super hard to remove.
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.900
Kat: So it's it's something that we can just quickly pull out.
00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:45.860
Kat: And sometimes they fall out, but most of the time, if they're still there after a certain period of time, they need to be removed.
00:29:45.860 --> 00:29:52.020
Kat: I also wanted to talk about feline stomatitis, which is a dental disease in cats.
00:29:52.020 --> 00:29:54.120
Kat: I thought it was kind of interesting.
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:59.400
Kat: It's severe inflammation and ulceration of the gingiva and the mucosa of cats.
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:00.980
Kat: And it can be very painful.
00:30:00.980 --> 00:30:10.360
Kat: It can cause weight loss, salivation, failure to groom, dropping food, anorexia, halitosis, which is bad breath.
00:30:10.360 --> 00:30:12.340
Kat: But the cause of it is really unknown.
00:30:12.980 --> 00:30:17.180
Kat: It's potentially an atypical immune response.
00:30:17.180 --> 00:30:25.460
Kat: And there has been some research that shows that it's in correlation with cats that have herpes virus or calicivirus.
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:33.480
Kat: And like in studies, a majority of them have one or both, but it's not really known if that's the cause of it.
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:39.820
Kat: It's assumed that the virus can cause an abnormal immune response, resulting in inflammation of the mouth.
00:30:40.600 --> 00:30:53.420
Kat: It's not the virus itself that causes the stomatitis, but it's thought that the virus can cause the body to react differently to the normal flora or plaque, bacteria of the mouth, causing an immune response.
00:30:53.420 --> 00:30:55.260
Kat: But we don't really know.
00:30:55.260 --> 00:31:00.480
Kat: We do know that plaque can cause inflammation to be worse.
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:06.020
Kat: And because of that, you can do brushing like teeth brushing, you can do professional cleanings.
00:31:06.020 --> 00:31:12.040
Kat: It can be helpful, but honestly, it's impossible to keep all plaque from remaining on the teeth.
00:31:12.040 --> 00:31:21.740
Kat: But it is kind of impossible to keep all plaque from remaining on the teeth, because plaque accumulates on your teeth daily.
00:31:21.740 --> 00:31:24.240
Kat: So it's kind of always there.
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:33.980
Kat: So this might sound a little aggressive, but you have to remove all of the teeth in the cat's mouth to help with stomatitis.
00:31:35.540 --> 00:31:42.540
Kat: Some cats need to also be managed with medications like steroids or immunosuppressants after removal.
00:31:42.540 --> 00:31:52.520
Kat: But really removing the teeth can prevent plaque from building up on the teeth, which is what causes the inflammation.
00:31:52.520 --> 00:31:56.120
Kat: So a lot of people are like, oh no, my cat has no teeth.
00:31:56.120 --> 00:31:57.520
Kat: How will they eat?
00:31:57.520 --> 00:32:01.200
Kat: And a lot of cats do very, very well with extractions.
00:32:02.540 --> 00:32:05.540
Kat: Most of the time, they swallow their kibble whole.
00:32:05.540 --> 00:32:11.440
Kat: So they can even go back to eating like hard kibble after having all their teeth removed.
00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:15.460
Kat: But it is recommended to soften food or feed them just soft food.
00:32:15.460 --> 00:32:24.540
Kat: But honestly, a lot of owners are amazed by the quality of life change after having all the teeth removed.
00:32:24.540 --> 00:32:27.680
Kat: So that's pretty interesting.
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:28.800
Kat: I thought it was interesting.
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:30.700
Nessie: I've seen a few cases like that.
00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:32.240
Kat: Yeah.
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:37.620
Nessie: And it is always, like, it always is such a big difference afterward.
00:32:37.620 --> 00:32:38.660
Kat: Yeah.
00:32:38.660 --> 00:32:40.680
Kat: Because it's so painful and uncomfortable.
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:44.180
Kat: Imagine just having a mouthful of kinkerswores all the time.
00:32:44.180 --> 00:32:48.300
Kat: And like, it burns when you eat, and like, it burns all the time.
00:32:48.300 --> 00:32:55.960
Kat: And just, I mean, yeah, it sucks not to have all your teeth, but also it relieves the pain.
00:32:56.260 --> 00:32:59.980
Kat: And honestly, they're more comfortable, so.
00:32:59.980 --> 00:33:05.500
Nessie: All right, this is another review for the Arm and Hammer Pet Ringers Dental.
00:33:05.520 --> 00:33:09.980
Nessie: One star by Dude.
00:33:09.980 --> 00:33:11.420
Kat: Dude.
00:33:11.420 --> 00:33:15.360
Nessie: So this is a verified purchase called Don't Buy This Item.
00:33:15.360 --> 00:33:18.980
Nessie: If you want your dog to lose his teeth, by all means buy this.
00:33:18.980 --> 00:33:22.400
Nessie: It's huge for a medium-sized dog, so I needed to cut this.
00:33:22.860 --> 00:33:27.160
Nessie: It is impossible for anyone to break this by their hand or with a knife.
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:29.680
Nessie: I used the, I used the hand-crawler.
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:34.360
Nessie: I used the hammer to break one up and give a little piece to my dog to enjoy.
00:33:34.360 --> 00:33:37.080
Nessie: The blue gunk got stuck to his teeth.
00:33:37.080 --> 00:33:41.180
Nessie: Please keep this away from older dogs as their teeth are much more fragile.
00:33:41.180 --> 00:33:43.100
Kat: Oh my gosh.
00:33:43.100 --> 00:33:46.680
Kat: Could you imagine taking a knife to it and then still giving it to your pet?
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:50.460
Nessie: And then be like, I know what will work.
00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:52.380
Nessie: I'ma bulk it with a hammer.
00:33:52.380 --> 00:33:53.200
Kat: Oh my gosh.
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:55.000
Kat: Take a pickaxe to it.
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:57.000
Kat: Or an ice breaker thing.
00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:57.500
Kat: What are those?
00:33:57.500 --> 00:33:58.740
Kat: Ice sickle?
00:33:58.740 --> 00:33:59.400
Kat: No.
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:01.200
Nessie: I think an ice pick.
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:02.440
Kat: Ice pick, yeah.
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:03.960
Kat: Pick an ice pick to it.
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:06.800
Nessie: You think the next move will like the chainsaw.
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:14.000
Nessie: And then once he's like, now he's still like, here, you're writing a jaw piece.
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:17.680
Kat: Now it's sharp and pointy, and now you can chew on it.
00:34:17.680 --> 00:34:18.920
Nessie: Sounds great.
00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:26.740
Nessie: And then like the blue stuff that we were so excited about being like the is now all stuck to his dog's teeth and stuff.
00:34:26.740 --> 00:34:30.460
Kat: That's like the feats of the purpose, because now you have all this cruddy dog.
00:34:30.740 --> 00:34:31.360
Nessie: Because boogie.
00:34:32.140 --> 00:34:33.220
Kat: It's fine.
00:34:33.220 --> 00:34:33.920
Kat: It's not fine.
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:35.800
Nessie: I'm so scared of this book.
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:37.520
Kat: Read one more.
00:34:37.520 --> 00:34:38.140
Nessie: Okay.
00:34:38.140 --> 00:34:41.340
Nessie: This is for the same part.
00:34:41.340 --> 00:34:45.360
Nessie: It is by Windy.
00:34:45.420 --> 00:34:46.480
Nessie: Very windy.
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:47.740
Nessie: Very windy out.
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:50.740
Nessie: One star buyer beware.
00:34:50.740 --> 00:34:54.720
Nessie: I am writing this on behalf of my shizu button.
00:34:54.720 --> 00:34:56.100
Kat: Buttons.
00:34:56.100 --> 00:34:57.820
Nessie: That's so cute.
00:34:57.820 --> 00:34:59.760
Nessie: Gave her half of this treat last night.
00:34:59.940 --> 00:35:02.480
Nessie: It was hard like a peppermint candy cane.
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:04.980
Nessie: As she was chewing on it, a shard-
00:35:10.060 --> 00:35:11.020
Nessie: Non-butt.
00:35:11.020 --> 00:35:11.640
Nessie: It's not a fly.
00:35:11.640 --> 00:35:13.220
Nessie: This is a tear.
00:35:13.220 --> 00:35:17.760
Kat: It's like when something so messed up, you start laughing, you're like, I should not be laughing.
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:19.240
Nessie: As-
00:35:19.660 --> 00:35:20.860
Nessie: Get through this, girl.
00:35:20.860 --> 00:35:25.220
Nessie: As she was chewing on it, a shard flew into her eye.
00:35:25.220 --> 00:35:28.000
Nessie: I flushed her eye with saline solution to get the shard out.
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:29.420
Nessie: She is still suffering.
00:35:29.420 --> 00:35:31.120
Nessie: Avoid this at all.
00:35:31.140 --> 00:35:33.420
Nessie: Oh no.
00:35:33.420 --> 00:35:35.720
Nessie: Poor button.
00:35:35.720 --> 00:35:38.760
Nessie: Did you also cut it with a chainsaw?
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:41.700
Kat: Poor buttons and the shard in her eye.
00:35:41.780 --> 00:35:43.260
Nessie: Oh, the ulcer.
00:35:43.260 --> 00:35:45.400
Nessie: There's the minty bit, like the blue bit.
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:46.140
Kat: Probably.
00:35:46.140 --> 00:35:47.920
Kat: That's the part that's stuck to the other dogs too.
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:53.560
Nessie: Going out of your dog's teeth, and it went ka-chow.
00:35:55.200 --> 00:35:57.860
Nessie: You now have a corneal foreign body.
00:35:57.920 --> 00:35:59.180
Kat: Oh no.
00:35:59.180 --> 00:36:00.920
Kat: A nucleation in process.
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:02.340
Nessie: Can you believe that?
00:36:02.340 --> 00:36:03.580
Nessie: That's terrible.
00:36:03.580 --> 00:36:04.300
Nessie: That's awful.
00:36:04.300 --> 00:36:09.140
Nessie: You just see your dog chewing, and this piece breaks off and straight into the eye.
00:36:09.140 --> 00:36:10.180
Kat: Oh my gosh.
00:36:10.180 --> 00:36:11.820
Kat: Was she staring at him eating it?
00:36:13.900 --> 00:36:16.340
Nessie: Well, I gotta make sure this is safe on down.
00:36:16.340 --> 00:36:18.360
Nessie: Maybe she didn't see it happen at all.
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:19.880
Kat: Oh gosh.
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:20.680
Kat: All right.
00:36:20.680 --> 00:36:28.140
Kat: Well, speaking of clean teeth, you should brush your dog's teeth.
00:36:28.140 --> 00:36:29.220
Kat: I know.
00:36:29.220 --> 00:36:30.140
Kat: I know.
00:36:30.140 --> 00:36:31.280
Kat: They hate it.
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:38.460
Kat: You got to get them used to it, just like you got them used to walking on a leash, just like you got them used to going outside and to go to the bathroom or going on their potty pad.
00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:40.120
Kat: They got to get used to it.
00:36:40.120 --> 00:36:46.720
Kat: So you should be brushing your dog's teeth twice a day, if able to, just like us.
00:36:46.720 --> 00:36:52.220
Kat: If able, once a day will suffice, but twice a day is the goal.
00:36:52.220 --> 00:36:55.540
Kat: It removes accumulation of plaque bacteria.
00:36:57.580 --> 00:37:02.320
Kat: So bad breath, tooth loss, all those things can happen.
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:06.900
Kat: The first step to brushing your dog's teeth is purchasing a toothbrush.
00:37:06.900 --> 00:37:08.520
Kat: I know, I know.
00:37:08.520 --> 00:37:11.340
Kat: So the ideal toothbrush has a long handle.
00:37:11.340 --> 00:37:16.580
Kat: It's angled to fit in the mouth, and it has soft bristles.
00:37:16.580 --> 00:37:21.800
Kat: So a children's toothbrush is too small, and it's actually too hard for dog's teeth.
00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:25.560
Kat: So for small dogs, you can buy a finger toothbrush.
00:37:25.560 --> 00:37:26.360
Kat: That works too.
00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:28.100
Nessie: Ooh, don't use those finger wipes.
00:37:28.100 --> 00:37:30.020
Kat: Yeah, not the wipes.
00:37:30.020 --> 00:37:30.960
Nessie: They feel like puppet.
00:37:32.940 --> 00:37:36.420
Kat: Don't put the muppets on your finger to brush dog's teeth.
00:37:36.420 --> 00:37:38.120
Nessie: Not get the finger puppets on your teeth.
00:37:38.120 --> 00:37:38.840
Kat: You don't want muppets.
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:39.580
Nessie: Oh, wait, don't.
00:37:39.620 --> 00:37:43.140
Kat: Remember when you use no Kermit on your finger anyway.
00:37:44.220 --> 00:37:47.820
Kat: So the second step is to get an animal-specific toothpaste.
00:37:47.820 --> 00:37:53.720
Kat: Avoid human toothpaste as it has baking sodas and detergents and salts in them.
00:37:53.720 --> 00:37:56.980
Kat: We don't want that, but fluoride-infused toothpaste are fine.
00:37:58.080 --> 00:38:05.760
Kat: So, starting brushing when your dogs are young is the best way to approach it.
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:09.160
Kat: If you can, obviously, that can't always be the case.
00:38:09.160 --> 00:38:16.700
Kat: But you can start with a washcloth or a piece of gauze and just brush the teeth in the same manner that you would use a toothbrush.
00:38:16.700 --> 00:38:18.440
Kat: praise your dog.
00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:19.920
Kat: Approach this manner gently.
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:23.200
Kat: Don't hold them down and be like, we're brushing them.
00:38:23.200 --> 00:38:25.060
Nessie: We're doing this.
00:38:25.060 --> 00:38:26.300
Nessie: It is happening today.
00:38:27.580 --> 00:38:28.700
Kat: praise them.
00:38:28.700 --> 00:38:29.340
Kat: Yeah.
00:38:29.340 --> 00:38:30.020
Kat: praise them.
00:38:30.020 --> 00:38:35.120
Kat: And then you can offer them a dental chew as a reward for letting you do it.
00:38:35.120 --> 00:38:37.040
Kat: Do it twice daily for two weeks.
00:38:37.040 --> 00:38:44.280
Kat: And then when they're comfortable, you can introduce the toothbrush or the finger brush.
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:45.820
Nessie: When your dog doesn't.
00:38:45.820 --> 00:38:46.280
Kat: Yeah.
00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:47.340
Nessie: Oh, wait, we said, yeah.
00:38:47.340 --> 00:38:48.540
Kat: Oh, no, no, you're right.
00:38:48.540 --> 00:38:49.700
Kat: I just agreed with you.
00:38:49.700 --> 00:38:50.140
Kat: Yeah.
00:38:50.140 --> 00:38:51.080
Kat: I was like, yeah, you're right.
00:38:53.940 --> 00:38:59.780
Kat: When your pet accepts the toothbrush, finally, you can start to add in the pace.
00:38:59.780 --> 00:39:09.420
Kat: So you can pay special attention to the outside of the upper teeth because this is where a lot of plaque and bacteria accumulate.
00:39:09.420 --> 00:39:11.800
Kat: Brush in an oval pattern.
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:17.960
Kat: You can do ten back and forth motions, cover about four teeth at a time, and then you can move locations.
00:39:18.380 --> 00:39:22.040
Kat: And don't forget the incisors and the canines.
00:39:22.040 --> 00:39:23.320
Kat: That's important.
00:39:25.140 --> 00:39:28.820
Kat: Um, yeah, so brushing is a good preventative stuff.
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:36.400
Kat: To preventing worse things from happening in the future.
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:40.860
Nessie: Arm and Hammer is really, really getting it with their products.
00:39:41.200 --> 00:39:49.020
Nessie: This one is for Arm and Hammer Complete Care Fresh Dental Water Additive for Dogs, 16 fluid ounces.
00:39:49.020 --> 00:39:50.580
Nessie: Flavorless Dog Water Additive.
00:39:50.580 --> 00:39:55.260
Nessie: Wash Dog Dental Rinse Pet Water Additive Pets Dental Care for Bad Breath.
00:39:55.260 --> 00:39:55.960
Nessie: Okay.
00:39:57.140 --> 00:39:58.560
Nessie: Is there Rosemary?
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:01.840
Nessie: That's in every title.
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:03.100
Kat: Where's the Rosemary?
00:40:03.260 --> 00:40:05.200
Nessie: There's no mention of the Rosemary.
00:40:07.060 --> 00:40:12.540
Nessie: This is a one star rarefied purchase from Matilda.
00:40:12.540 --> 00:40:14.560
Nessie: Matilda.
00:40:14.560 --> 00:40:16.600
Nessie: And it's called Teeth Fell Out.
00:40:19.080 --> 00:40:21.020
Nessie: I'm sorry.
00:40:21.020 --> 00:40:22.700
Kat: Teeth fell out.
00:40:22.720 --> 00:40:25.640
Nessie: I started this a little over a year ago.
00:40:25.640 --> 00:40:28.540
Nessie: My dog had bad tartar on his back teeth.
00:40:28.540 --> 00:40:31.600
Nessie: A few months later, his smallest lower front teeth fell out.
00:40:32.080 --> 00:40:34.960
Nessie: I thought maybe he snagged them chewing his fur.
00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:37.800
Nessie: The tartar on his back teeth didn't improve.
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:40.220
Nessie: I took him for a cleaning.
00:40:40.220 --> 00:40:44.220
Nessie: He now only has three of his 12 front teeth left.
00:40:44.220 --> 00:40:46.820
Nessie: Vet said they were all loose.
00:40:46.860 --> 00:40:49.500
Kat: Oh no.
00:40:49.500 --> 00:40:51.780
Nessie: Matilda.
00:40:51.780 --> 00:40:53.540
Nessie: You probably have a little dog, first of all.
00:40:53.540 --> 00:40:54.920
Nessie: That's what it sounds like.
00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:59.900
Nessie: And secondly, you use this water dad tip for a whole year.
00:41:00.720 --> 00:41:02.880
Nessie: I don't think it's the reason the teeth fell out, though.
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:03.460
Kat: Yeah.
00:41:03.460 --> 00:41:13.100
Kat: The thing is, with small dogs, they're more prone to having teeth issues and nasty, gross, grungy, genetic, unmarried, certainly.
00:41:13.100 --> 00:41:14.920
Nessie: Yeah, no matter how hard you try.
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:16.360
Nessie: Yeah.
00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:20.980
Kat: So unfortunately, your Yorkie is gonna have worse teeth than my Great Dane will.
00:41:20.980 --> 00:41:21.780
Nessie: Yeah.
00:41:21.780 --> 00:41:23.820
Nessie: And that's just the way they were.
00:41:23.900 --> 00:41:27.260
Kat: Does that mean smaller mouths, you know, more compact?
00:41:27.260 --> 00:41:32.820
Nessie: You will probably have to get more dentals before her Great Dane would ever need one.
00:41:32.820 --> 00:41:34.120
Kat: Yeah.
00:41:34.120 --> 00:41:48.800
Nessie: That is all of my dental-related reviews, but I do have an Amazon product review that I really wanted to share with you that I thought you would be well excited about.
00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:52.980
Nessie: There are two Amazon products that I need you to know about.
00:41:53.940 --> 00:41:58.260
Nessie: One is a toy poodle head mask.
00:41:58.260 --> 00:42:03.080
Nessie: And I'm going to share with you a couple of pictures.
00:42:03.120 --> 00:42:06.060
Nessie: We could post these on our Facebook if you need to.
00:42:06.060 --> 00:42:10.600
Nessie: This man rated it five stars and posted a picture of himself wearing it.
00:42:10.600 --> 00:42:17.200
Nessie: And it says, I fooled our toy poodles into thinking we adopted a standard poodle.
00:42:20.340 --> 00:42:27.180
Nessie: It's cute, it's novel, for the money, and our tory poodles had a blast with it, and so did we.
00:42:27.180 --> 00:42:30.060
Nessie: It's weird, and I feel like...
00:42:31.620 --> 00:42:36.720
Nessie: Because you're bound to be like someone on the outside looking in, and there's a man sitting in his chair.
00:42:36.720 --> 00:42:38.360
Kat: That dog looks traumatized.
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:39.880
Nessie: And he's trying to look like his dog.
00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:44.340
Nessie: And he's like, my dog thought that I was another standard poodle, and that we were just family now.
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:47.400
Kat: That is wild.
00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:51.200
Nessie: The same mask, and it's another five-star review.
00:42:51.200 --> 00:42:55.500
Nessie: And this one is from Jumanji.
00:42:55.500 --> 00:43:00.260
Nessie: This might be the best mask fashion accessory I have ever purchased.
00:43:00.260 --> 00:43:01.860
Nessie: Wow.
00:43:01.860 --> 00:43:06.660
Nessie: I highly recommend it to anybody trying to take things to the next level.
00:43:06.660 --> 00:43:08.420
Nessie: And this is a picture of them wearing it to the beach.
00:43:08.640 --> 00:43:10.060
Kat: Oh, no.
00:43:10.060 --> 00:43:11.540
Kat: What do you mean to use it?
00:43:11.540 --> 00:43:12.440
Kat: I don't know.
00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:14.160
Kat: I'm not even going to guess what they mean by that.
00:43:14.160 --> 00:43:17.720
Nessie: We're not going to go any further on trying to decide that.
00:43:17.720 --> 00:43:20.600
Nessie: But we took it out for a walk.
00:43:20.600 --> 00:43:21.280
Kat: Oh, my God.
00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:23.060
Kat: They put sunglasses on it.
00:43:23.060 --> 00:43:25.000
Kat: It's the umbrella for you.
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:27.640
Kat: It's like an umbrella that you would put in a drink.
00:43:27.640 --> 00:43:29.100
Kat: That's what the umbrella is.
00:43:29.100 --> 00:43:30.260
Nessie: Wow.
00:43:30.260 --> 00:43:33.060
Nessie: So that is the poodle dog mask.
00:43:33.060 --> 00:43:33.820
Kat: OK.
00:43:33.820 --> 00:43:35.440
Kat: I do want to tell a story real quick.
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:36.120
Nessie: I would love that.
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:49.600
Kat: So one time, there was this old crunchy dog, and the owner wasn't able to give pills to it, just because sometimes people feel weird about sticking their fingers in their pet's mouth and stuff.
00:43:49.600 --> 00:43:56.860
Kat: So I had to give it a pill, and I reached in there to give the pill, gave the pill, did my thing.
00:43:56.860 --> 00:44:02.480
Kat: And whenever I came back out, something fell to the table and I thought it was the pill.
00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:03.500
Kat: No, it was a tube.
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:05.700
Nessie: Oh my god, it's the one?
00:44:05.700 --> 00:44:08.300
Nessie: A whole tooth fell out, a whole tooth.
00:44:08.300 --> 00:44:12.820
Kat: So I had to take that tooth into the room and be like, hey, so your dog's tooth fell out.
00:44:12.820 --> 00:44:14.380
Kat: I'm real worried.
00:44:14.380 --> 00:44:16.440
Kat: I literally was like, here's the tooth.
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:18.740
Kat: I just wanted you to know it fell out.
00:44:18.740 --> 00:44:21.540
Nessie: Maybe because they were using this water additive for a year.
00:44:21.540 --> 00:44:23.760
Kat: I don't, they had horrible teeth.
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:24.820
Kat: So it was-
00:44:24.820 --> 00:44:27.260
Nessie: Water additive that made all that lady's dog's teeth.
00:44:27.260 --> 00:44:28.360
Kat: Yeah, I mean, that's true.
00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:30.080
Kat: It was ready to come out, for sure.
00:44:30.080 --> 00:44:38.800
Kat: So it wasn't my fault, but it just, it sucks to take your dog to the back, a tooth falls out and then be like, well, they're in their own tooth.
00:44:39.520 --> 00:44:43.140
Nessie: Yeah, that one feels like an awkward conversation to have.
00:44:43.140 --> 00:44:48.300
Nessie: And then people tend to not trust whatever's happening in the back anyway.
00:44:48.620 --> 00:44:53.600
Nessie: And just know that we're back there loving on your pet, and then their teeth fell out.
00:44:53.600 --> 00:44:56.720
Kat: We're not knocking their teeth out.
00:44:56.720 --> 00:44:58.960
Nessie: We're not knocking their teeth out.
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:00.320
Nessie: We're not knocking the dental ring choose.
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:01.500
Nessie: Yeah, whatever we're like.
00:45:01.560 --> 00:45:03.620
Kat: We're making sure the shards go in their eyes.
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:11.020
Nessie: All right, this other product is, I have no words for it.
00:45:11.020 --> 00:45:12.700
Nessie: I can't say this first word.
00:45:12.700 --> 00:45:13.880
Nessie: It just looks like a bunch of letters.
00:45:13.900 --> 00:45:16.760
Nessie: A-Q-K-I-L-O.
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:17.480
Kat: Aquillo?
00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:21.640
Nessie: Aquil-kilo.
00:45:21.640 --> 00:45:22.560
Kat: Anyway, go on.
00:45:22.560 --> 00:45:29.120
Nessie: It is Handy Squirrel Finger Hand Puppet Novelty Toy Finger Doll Prop Animal Finger Puppet for Kids.
00:45:29.120 --> 00:45:31.940
Kat: Hey, you can use it to brush your teeth.
00:45:31.940 --> 00:45:36.880
Nessie: This is the perfect thing for brushing your dog's teeth.
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:40.660
Nessie: Actually, it's not, this might actually be what that guy bought, though.
00:45:40.660 --> 00:45:42.600
Nessie: And first, now also let me lift.
00:45:42.600 --> 00:45:45.500
Nessie: Let me say, we're gonna find the picture on the Facebook.
00:45:45.500 --> 00:45:47.720
Kat: Why is it skin colored?
00:45:48.800 --> 00:45:52.060
Nessie: You don't know, but that, that's what a squirrel finger puppet looks like.
00:45:52.060 --> 00:45:53.200
Nessie: Knee's got four feet.
00:45:53.380 --> 00:45:58.820
Nessie: Now, I have reviews for this product that you are just not even gonna believe.
00:45:58.820 --> 00:46:03.760
Nessie: It's a five-star verified purchase by Martina.
00:46:03.760 --> 00:46:05.160
Nessie: Did we use Martina before?
00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:07.580
Kat: Macaroni.
00:46:07.580 --> 00:46:11.240
Nessie: All right, and there is a picture posted with this, and I will show you this picture as well.
00:46:11.240 --> 00:46:17.780
Nessie: I bought this sad, decrepit taxidermied squirrel at an auction to save him from the trash.
00:46:17.780 --> 00:46:21.460
Nessie: Among his flaws was the facet that his hands had fallen off.
00:46:22.620 --> 00:46:25.400
Kat: Oh, no, I see.
00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:32.400
Nessie: I was browsing Amazon to buy him some doll hands when I found these and thought, perfect.
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:35.000
Nessie: Carl is thrilled with his new prosthetic.
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:39.500
Nessie: She named him.
00:46:39.500 --> 00:46:44.580
Nessie: And if feet fall off, we still have two more finger puppets, so he's golden.
00:46:45.680 --> 00:46:48.920
Kat: He gave him a prosthetic arm.
00:46:48.920 --> 00:46:50.720
Nessie: Please don't mind his Freddy Krueger outfit.
00:46:50.820 --> 00:46:52.540
Nessie: He was getting ready for Halloween.
00:46:52.540 --> 00:46:55.180
Kat: What's in his mouth?
00:46:55.180 --> 00:46:56.920
Kat: That is horrifying.
00:46:56.920 --> 00:47:04.320
Nessie: Going to some auction and finding this handless taxidermy swirl and being like, I don't want that.
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:10.120
Kat: Honestly though, my roommate, one of my best friends, she would do that.
00:47:10.120 --> 00:47:14.880
Kat: She buys baby dolls and she makes them into zombie baby dolls.
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:15.780
Kat: It's real creepy.
00:47:15.780 --> 00:47:16.800
Kat: They're all outside my house.
00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:17.860
Nessie: She would buy it.
00:47:17.860 --> 00:47:23.660
Kat: She would a thousand percent buy a handless taxidermy squirrel and make it them arms.
00:47:23.660 --> 00:47:23.980
Kat: Yeah.
00:47:23.980 --> 00:47:25.520
Nessie: No worries if he loses his feet.
00:47:25.520 --> 00:47:27.780
Nessie: I have two more prosthetics.
00:47:27.780 --> 00:47:28.880
Kat: She would absolutely do that.
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:30.420
Nessie: Then she dressed him up for Halloween.
00:47:30.420 --> 00:47:32.420
Nessie: She's like, don't hide his Freddy Krueger outfit.
00:47:32.420 --> 00:47:33.620
Nessie: He's getting ready for Halloween.
00:47:33.740 --> 00:47:35.540
Nessie: Does she change his outfits out first?
00:47:35.540 --> 00:47:36.100
Nessie: Absolutely.
00:47:36.100 --> 00:47:37.740
Nessie: Yeah, she does.
00:47:37.740 --> 00:47:38.860
Nessie: Oh, Paul.
00:47:38.860 --> 00:47:41.600
Nessie: Paul is getting it dressed as Freddy Krueger.
00:47:41.620 --> 00:47:42.840
Nessie: Oh, gosh.
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:43.860
Nessie: That is wild.
00:47:43.860 --> 00:47:45.160
Kat: People are crazy.
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:50.240
Nessie: I have a second one for this product as well.
00:47:50.240 --> 00:47:54.720
Nessie: And it's a five star by Jodeci.
00:47:54.720 --> 00:47:55.740
Nessie: Jodeci.
00:47:55.740 --> 00:47:57.740
Nessie: We have the best birthday.
00:47:57.740 --> 00:47:59.900
Nessie: This woman right here.
00:47:59.900 --> 00:48:03.440
Nessie: Are you tired of giving your best friend the same old thing for their birthday?
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:07.280
Nessie: Then look no further than this random squirrel puppet finger thing.
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:12.920
Nessie: They pack away in any handbags, so they're ready to class up any dinner date at a moment's notice.
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:16.500
Nessie: And this is a picture of a woman wearing it on her dinner date.
00:48:16.540 --> 00:48:18.100
Kat: Oh no.
00:48:19.380 --> 00:48:20.640
Kat: It's kind of cute though.
00:48:20.640 --> 00:48:33.300
Nessie: Are you out on a date, and things are going well, and you're like, let's test his sense of humor, and you pull out your squirrel finger puppets and sip your glass of wine?
00:48:33.300 --> 00:48:35.620
Kat: This is why you didn't get a call back.
00:48:36.900 --> 00:48:39.020
Nessie: Maybe it was you.
00:48:39.020 --> 00:48:40.380
Kat: It was definitely me.
00:48:40.380 --> 00:48:42.040
Nessie: Maybe it was your weird finger puppet.
00:48:42.040 --> 00:48:44.600
Kat: Or you find someone who you're going to marry because of that.
00:48:44.600 --> 00:48:49.880
Nessie: Or she met up with the guy who then used her finger puppets to clean his dog's teeth.
00:48:51.100 --> 00:48:52.520
Nessie: They were so imaginative.
00:48:52.520 --> 00:48:53.140
Nessie: Or Carl.
00:48:53.140 --> 00:48:56.220
Nessie: They are so happy together now.
00:48:56.220 --> 00:48:59.560
Nessie: And those are all I have.
00:48:59.560 --> 00:49:04.320
Kat: Well, that concludes our episode for today.
00:49:04.320 --> 00:49:04.660
Nessie: Cool.
00:49:04.660 --> 00:49:06.040
Nessie: Thanks for hanging out with us.
00:49:06.040 --> 00:49:07.680
Nessie: I had a good time.
00:49:07.680 --> 00:49:08.980
Nessie: You got some handles for us.
00:49:09.380 --> 00:49:09.820
Kat: Yeah.

Nessie: Reach out to us with your own things that you find on the internet that are weird reviews of places or things or anything pet related.
00:49:34.540 --> 00:49:37.180

00:49:38.200 --> 00:49:39.020
Nessie: Send it to us.
00:49:39.020 --> 00:49:42.480
Nessie: We're always looking for better, for better, for more content.

Kat: We need better content, but no, you shouldn't.
00:49:46.780 --> 00:49:48.980
Nessie: Nose diving.
00:49:48.980 --> 00:49:55.820
Nessie: And then we have a song for you at the end of this episode, as usual, made by Suno, Suno AI.
00:49:55.820 --> 00:49:57.340
Kat: And that's pretty great.
00:49:57.340 --> 00:49:59.400
Kat: I hope this time.
00:49:59.400 --> 00:50:01.880
Nessie: What was this one, Kong?
00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:03.380
Nessie: Puppy Breath Groove.
00:50:03.380 --> 00:50:05.160
Kat: Puppy Breath Grooge.
00:50:05.200 --> 00:50:08.360
Nessie: Which also may wind up being the title of this episode.
00:50:08.360 --> 00:50:09.820
Nessie: Yeah.
00:50:09.820 --> 00:50:10.920
Nessie: I like that.
00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:11.640
Nessie: Okay.
00:50:11.640 --> 00:50:13.660
Nessie: Well, stop at the end.
00:50:14.580 --> 00:50:15.560
Nessie: Go away now.
00:50:15.560 --> 00:50:16.780
