Periodontal disease is the most prevalent disease in all dogs, but some breeds are at higher risk, says Dr. Donald Beebe, a veterinarian with Apex Dog and Cat Dentistry in Englewood, Colorado. Periodontal disease is a huge problem with small breeds—generally anyone shorter than knee height. But some dogs, particularly smaller breeds, are at a higher risk of developing periodontal disease.
