Edition Dog Magazine

Issue 88 of Edition Dog Magazine turns its attention to one of the most underestimated parts of the dog’s body: the mouth. Across this issue, we explore how mouths shape early development, social bonding, learning, communication, and coping, moving beyond simplistic ideas of biting to reveal a complex sensory and cognitive tool. Alongside deep dives into dental health, from first aid decision-making and chronic care to the unintended consequences of modern tooth cleaning, we examine acute conditions such as trigeminal neuropathy and the quieter emotional cost of long-term pain. With a thoughtful Breed Focus on the Weimaraner, a continuation of our learning barriers series, a neurobiological micro-epic on running, and a reflective look at everyday choices with lasting impact, this issue invites readers to reconsider what the mouth tells us about how dogs experience their world.
