1. A method for treating periodontal diseases in a high-risk dog in need thereof, the method comprising:
determining an age of the dog in years, a skull shape categorization of the dog, and a weight of the dog in kilograms;
converting the skull shape categorization of the dog to a quantification of the skull shape, wherein the quantification of the skull shape is:
Brachycephalic skull: 1.0
Mesaticephalic skull: 2.0
Dolichocephalic skull: 3.0;
executing a first algorithm to calculate a risk parameter, wherein the first algorithm is based on a first equation represented by Rp=(A*S)/W, wherein A is the age of the dog in years, S is the quantification of the skull shape of the dog, W is the weight of the dog in kilograms, and Rp is the risk parameter;
executing a second algorithm to determine a risk level factor, wherein the second algorithm is based on a second equation represented by L=0.0662*LN (Rp)+0.2137, wherein LN is a natural logarithm with Rp as its input, and wherein L is the risk level factor;
determining a susceptibility level of the dog to periodontal diseases as follows:
Low risk when L<0.10
Low-Medium risk when 0.10<L<0.15
Medium risk when 0.15<L<0.20
Meidum-High risk when 0.20<L<0.30
High risk when L>0.30; and
administering an oral solution comprising at least chlorhexidine gluconate to the dog on a daily basis when the susceptibility level of the dog is high risk.
