«Ceramic - type of crowns can be used in dogs, but remember we are dealing with a patient that does not have the «power to reason,» and you can tell a human not to chew on a hard piece of candy or «do not bite down on a steak bone» (as in human dentistry), but the
pet goes
outside and chews on the fence instead or picks up a piece of firewood and carries it across the back yard — and shatters the ceramic crown — kind of like dropping a heavy metal soup spoon into a porcelain sink in the
kitchen.
Hot on the heels of another
pet product recall — Purina and Milo's
Kitchen both announced recalls of chicken jerky treats last week — I looked back to 2007, when
pet food recalls were a hot topic both inside and
outside the industry.
