Dogs are clipped to improve their appearance; to make them more comfortable; to assist in the treatment of certain skin diseases; or for the benefit of the owner by cutting down the shedding of hair so that household cleanliness can be more readily maintained.
If a dog is exercised according to its natural dictates, it will achieve a razorsharpness of exuberant wellbeing very similar to that of a highly trained human athlete. But it is only the relatively rare dog—such as the farm or range animal, the hunter, or the animal on a large estate—that is living under conditions ideally suited to its natural attributes. Most dog owners live either in small homes or apartments. While the smallhome owner can allow his animal to romp in the back yard for many hours at a time, it is still rather unlikely that any but the smaller varieties of dogs can get sufficient exercise in this manner. The apartmenthouse dweller in most cities is forced by law to restrain his animal on a leash when taking it out for a walk. How any dog, outside of the toys or small terriers, can get sufficient exercise in this manner is hard to imagine!

Vitamin C: Dogs manufacture their own vitamin C and therefore have no special need for this vitamin. Humans that have a deficiency of this vitamin develop scurvy, which is cured by fresh fruit juices and vegetables. No disease resembling scurvy appears hi the dog. However, the bodies of dogs will occasionally fail to manufacture sufficient quantities of vitamin C, and variable degrees of irritation will result in the membranes of the mouth and gums. This condition responds readily to proper doses of this vitamin.

Ordinarily, the adult dog has fortytwo teeth—twenty in the upper jaw and twentytwo in the lower—which are designated as incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. The incisors number six in each jaw, and are respectively called pincers, intermediates, and corners. In the upper jaw the corner incisor is shaped somewhat like a canine tooth. The temporary incisors are small, have three cusps on their free extremity, and are very white. The newly erupted permanent incisors are white and glistening and their surfaces are distinctly divided into three cusps resembling a clover leaf. The canines or fangs are coneshaped, elongated, and slightly curved. Age determination is based mainly on the characteristics of the incisors and the canines.
