Dog breath’ is bad sign By Louise Platiel, Invermere Veterinary Hospital “Dog Breath” is not a compliment! Hopefully you’ve never been told you have it, but your pet might. If so, your pet’s teeth may require attention. Bad breath, caused by bacteria multiplying in food trapped between the teeth, is often the first sign of mouth trouble. The bacteria is “plaque” and plaque turns into tartar, causing gum disease, and ultimately leading to tooth decay. If the teeth are closely packed or there is an over-bite or under-bite, the chances of gum disease are greater. But the main reason why our pets end up with bad teeth is that they live much longer than their wild counterparts. A dental care program should begin around one year of age. The easiest option is a dental care diet. The shape, structure, and size of dental care food helps scrape teeth better than regular kibble. There are many other food items available, from bite-sized treats to chewy bones for dogs, which follow the

same principle. Frozen and smoked cow bones are also an option. Choose large ones (rib bones are not recommended). Take the bone away if splinters become evident. All treats should be limited. While brushing your pet’s teeth may seem absurd, it is the very best preventative method. Special toothpaste and brushes are available, and a child’s toothbrush is also a good tool. Start by putting a small amount of paste on your finger and offering it as a treat. Next apply the toothpaste with your finger in a brushing motion. Finally, introduce a softbristle toothbrush, making small circular strokes at the gum line while rotating outwards. Make eight to 10 strokes in one area before moving on. Routine cleaning by a vet includes hand cleaning, ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and tartar, and polishing. Dogs receive a fluoride treatment. Without the complication of rotting or broken teeth that require extractions, an average cleaning takes one hour for a dog and a half hour for a cat. There is no need to wait until the teeth are rotting; the better the teeth, the shorter the visit will be.
Function: To coordinate a 24 hour emergency service for the provision of temporary accomodation for women who have experienced, or are at risk of, abuse, threats or violence. The service extends to their dependent children. Responsibilites include training, scheduling and supervising emergency support workers, maintaining a confidential networkof voluntary safe homes, and providing information and advocacy services for women. Some on-call hours and crisis intervention will be required. The office is located in Invermere, but service is provided within the area from Spillimacheen to Canal Flats. Hours: This part-time, term position calls for 80 hours a month (an average of about 18.5 hours per week). The hourly wage is based upon BCGEU collective agreement . Start Date: July 6, 2005 - May 30, 2006 to cover a one year leave of absence. The successful candidate will have a combination of relevant education and experience. A demonstrated ability to organize, prioritize and supervise is essential, as is an excellent grasp of the dynamics of violence against women in relationships. It is expected that the applicant will posses above-average skills in working with people, in particular co-workers and clients. The applicant must hold a valid BC driverʼs license and have access to a reliable vehicle. Computer skills a definite asset. Please submit a resume and cover letter to: Pat Cope, Executive Director, Family Resource Centre, Box 2289, Invermere, BC, V0A 1K0 Fax: 250-342-3850.
