21. I had cats and dogs since I was born - many decades

We went to great lengths to take care of them, etc

This year was the first time I can recall any cat or dog of ours requiring a tooth be pulled.
We never even thought about brushing their teeth.
If we were aware of a sore tooth, we would have got it treated.
We made regular visits to the vets. WE took care of them and would do anything for them.
I spent a $1,000 years ago on a depressed cat - they couldn't find anything physically wrong.
We were a little annoyed our prior vet never picked up the problem.

I'll pass the Oratene Toothpaste Gel suggestion along. Thanks.
