Dharma's teeth have never been in great shape. No surprise, considering her life before us. She had a couple broken teeth already, but now she's busted another one. She split her right front canine vertically in half, and broke off the tip. Her daddy (so mad at him!) forgot to give her a Kong in her crate when he left for work - normally I wouldn't let the dogs have a Kong unsupervised, but it's her pacifier... she HAS to have it or she chews up her crate. And that's what she did, resulting in the broken tooth. Our vet saw her yesterday and referred us to a very good veterinary dental specialist. This is why we have pet insurance - it's completely covered. We'll see the specialist next week. I hate it when the dogs need surgery. That tooth is a mess, though... we can't leave it.

Poor sweet Dharma! Hope all goes well! I'm glad it will be completely covered, though!

Poor Dharma! I am sure she will do great and be back to herself in no time!
Thank god for pet insurance! When Harley needer her root canal which was also on her canine it cost me over $2,000....more than a human's root canal!
Let us know what the specialist says.

She'll feel much better afterwards.

Aw poor Dharma!!! That's great about the insurance. I really should have taken some out on Luca a looooooooong time ago. What carrier do you use? Best of luck to the little sweet pea, but I know she will be fine.

Thank you for the good wishes... I'll pass them along to Princess Pig. Aw poor Dharma!!! That's great about the insurance. I really should have taken some out on Luca a looooooooong time ago. What carrier do you use? Best of luck to the little sweet pea, but I know she will be fine. We use PetPlan. We've been very happy with them. Great customer service, great coverage. We've never had any problems with getting claims covered. I think there may be cheaper ones out there, but you get what you pay for. They have different levels - we do the basic with a $50 deductible per illness/injury and it covers everything we need.
