Tragically, our world is a complete and utter mess. Serious disasters and threats are everywhere. How do we even begin to list them all?They include rapidly accelerating climate change, divisive politics and extreme polarization, racism and discrimination, expanding economic inequality, out of control gun violence, and a mental health tsunami of epic proportions where anxiety, depression, suicidality and substance abuse are everywhere.We live in very difficult and frightening times for sure.

Can you guess the most common medical procedure after spay/neuter performed by the veterinarians at Marin Humane? Many people are surprised to learn it’s dental procedures.The American Veterinary Dental Society reports that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by age 3. The origin of dental disease is actually the same in dogs and cats as it is in people. The disease shows its first signs when bacteria from food accumulate in the mouth. Left untreated, bacteria cause plaque formations on teeth and around the gums. Mixing with saliva, these plaque formations harden and become tartar.Neglecting plaque and tartar buildup can lead to periodontitis, an irreversible condition involving the inflammation and infection of the gums. Inflamed gums separate from the teeth, allowing bacteria to enter and attack the tooth at the root. At this point, bacteria can also enter the bloodstream and travel to major organs like the heart, liver and kidneys, causing serious complicatio...
