Photo of part of page 40 of the October 2025 issue of Real Simple magazine showing the article “About Those Teefies: Are doggy dental issues having a moment?” showing the following intro paragraph: In just the last few months, three REAL SIMPLE staff pups have had to deal with serious dental problems. Poor Rusty, Pepper, and Leslie Knope needed to be put under for deep cleans and multiple extractions. (In Leslie’s case, it was 38!!!) The surge seemed to come out of nowhere and had us scratching our heads—in addition to theirs. Feeling a little lost, we called up some experts to get some answers.

Got my hands on the October issue of Real Simple magazine and now I have to ask…

If you had a small dog that lived a very long time, prior to 2019, did it lose a ton of its teeth?
