DENTAL CARE FOR DOGS
By Dr. E. M. Gildow
Director, Friskies Research Kennels
to the days when all dogs
Were big he-man hunters and
‘downed their own dinners, their
teeth were clean as the pro
verbial “hound’s tooth.” By de
vouring all parts of the game,
'tomes included, they provided
themselves with a well-rounded
diet as well as a good tooth
brushing.
Dogs today that are fed qual
ity prepared dog foods, especial
ly the meal type varieties such
ms Friskies which conta: t
considerable amount of c-. e
■Real, are getting a diet that
■ntrient-wide cicsely resembles
that of their forebears. Their
molars generally stay in better
dbape than dogs fed table
■craps.
There’s still the problem of
tartar, however. An occasional
chew on a large knuckle bone
will polish the edge of the teeth
hut will not usually reach the
Cum line where deposits tend to
he heaviest. If this isn't re
moved, the tartar pushes against
the gums causing irritation and
recession.
There are several things you
da* do to keep the tartar under
control, such as rubbing the
teeth with salt once a week. Or,
■ace a month or so scrape each
tooth that looks yellowed, work
- lag from the gum line outward
with a special dental tartar
acraper available in most pet
■apply stores.
Should your pet object too
■fresMOUsly to either or both
treatments, let your veterinarian
4a the job. For dogs over six
years old it should be done at
rite-month intervals.
Despite all forms of dental
care *ome dogs' teeth will never

Seeks To Curb
Range Land Fires
Ranchers and other Kodiak
residents are again warned of the
danger of uncontrolled range fires
by A. D. Craft, BLM Fire Control
officer for this district.
“Uncontrolled burning can (re
sult in accelerated erosion on
steep slopes and destroy fofest,
land, fences and other range im
provements as well as buildings
and homes,” C-~aft said. “Last year
one of these fires could well have
burned down the Ski lodge on the
Naval Station and threatened Ko
diak itself without the prompt
action of the Navy Fire Depart
ment,” he said.
He cautioned that ranchers
wishing to burn over their lands
for range improvement purposes
must keep the fire under strict
control and not allow the fire to
go beyond the boundaries of their
property. The Alaska Fire Control
Act requires prudence in starting
a fire and provision made for
fire breaks. The Act also stipu
lates that any person starting a
fire must stay with it until com
pletely extinquished. He must
have the necessary tools ami
equipment to insure it being kcgl
under control. Failure to cootwl
a fire could result in a fine, im
prisonment and double daqtagec.
Ranchers who have grazing lea
ses with the BLM and wish U
burn as a range improvement mea
sure should make application to
the Operations Supervisor, Bureaa
of Land Management, 334 K.
Fifth Avenue, Anchorage.
