When we talk about lifesaving services, we don't often throw dental services into the mix, but the truth is that so many pet owners don't understand how bad (and how painful) periodontal disease is for their furry family members. Today we're going into our dental services suite to take a look at this program and how we're helping pet owners relieve pain that they didn't even realize their pets had.

We're headed to a puppy mill rescue operation in Humansville, Missouri, with our friends from Bissell Pet Foundation, National Mill Dog Rescue, Wayside Waifs, and more. It takes a village to create make something of this size come together, and we're taking you behind the scenes.

Show notes:

• Annie, surrendered 19-year-old dog who found new home, dies: ‘She inspired so many’
• A dog's breed can affect pain sensitivity, but not necessarily the way your vet may think

We're headed out into the field with K-State Vet students as part of our partnership. They get experience in the field meeting pet owners where they are, and we get to expose the next generation of vets to our way of doing animal welfare.
