California IN BRIEF : SACRAMENTO : Assembly OKs Dog Teeth Cleaning Bill
From Times staff and Wire reports
Dog groomers would be able to clean canine teeth--a job now limited to veterinarians--under legislation approved 56 to 4 by the Assembly. The bill would let dog groomers use metal instruments to remove tartar and smooth and polish dog teeth. The legislation, which now goes to the Senate, would undo new state regulations promulgated by the Board of Examiners in Veterinary Medicine that limit the use of metal scrapers to veterinarians and their assistants.
