This Golden Retriever puppy got braces from a “doggie dentist” in Spring Lake and his become an internet sensation. Wesley’s pictures have been shared hundreds of thousands of times. Here’s the Facebook post from Dr. Jim Moore and the Harborfront Animal Hospital:
“When people hear that Dr. Moore is a “doggie dentist,” they immediately say things like: “What? Does he put braces on dogs, too?”
The answer is . . . yes. Yes, he does.
Orthodontia in pets is normally not for aesthetic purposes, but because of health concerns. This is Wesley and he needed tooth alignment because he could not close his mouth completely, otherwise.
The good news is, the correction he needed will be brief, perhaps only a few weeks.
Also, it obviously doesn’t bother him one little bit (if you look at the “after” photo). He’s a happy little guy.”
