Ontario Superior Court of Justice Ruling, April, 2014 Cease and Desist Order against Pup Star, January 2015 If anyone suggests that they can provide any valuable level of dental care without full general anesthesia, they are seriously ill-informed. It simply cannot be done. In many places it is illegal/malpractice to offer such "services". Regardless of jurisdiction, it is a terrible idea and should be avoided completely. here is a clip from the Veterinary News Network and a position statement from the AVDC and a paper from me	The premier veterinary dental conference in the world is offered each fall somewhere in the USA. In 2015, we will be in Monterey CA over the Halloween weekend. You should be there too!	I have started a new Facebook page: Built for Function and Fitness or BFF The goal is to celebrate and promote dogs and cats that are physically constructed in ways that will support desirable function and quality of life for the animal. My hope is to change what society values in favour of those features that are in the animal's best interest. They are our BFFs and they deserve to be BFF!
