In 2011, Donna and Gary turned their bikes around for a shy black lab mix. Fifteen years later, Apollo became the first dog ever treated with PerioVive for stomatitis, and his story helped change everything. This is his tribute.

Pixie, a 6-year-old Pomeranian, was diagnosed with severe periodontal disease in February 2025, requiring multiple extractions. After treatment with closed root planing and a one-time application of PerioVive, a significant improvement was seen in her radiographs 12 months later. This case highlights the effectiveness of PerioVive in reducing bone loss, stabilizing oral health, and minimizing the need for additional extractions, resulting in a less invasive treatment approach.

A strong bi-directional association exists between diabetes and dental health with each negatively impacting the other. Diabetes mellitus has been shown to significantly increase the risk of gingivitis, periodontitis, and tooth loss in companion animals and people. Conversely, poor oral health negatively impacts glycemic control by reducing insulin response. For these reasons, it is crucial to consider periodontal health as an integral component of diabetes management.
