Abstract
A method or system for determining the susceptibility of a dog to periodontal disease and to the development of treatment regimens based upon the levels of susceptibility determined. The method can include determining a characteristic of the dog selected from at least one of a breed of the dog, a shape of the dog's head, a size category of the dog, a weight or body condition of the dog, a predicted size category or weight of the dog as an adult, or an age of the dog. The method can also include comparing the characteristic with a dataset comprising an occurrence of the periodontal disease in other dogs having the at least one characteristic. In addition, the method can include detecting an overall susceptibility level of the dog for the periodontal disease, and/or displaying a customized recommendation on a graphical user interface of the computer based on the overall susceptibility level of the dog.
