What is the strenght of the acid in a dogs mouth (saliva) vs a humans and does 
it hae relevance to the amount of bacteria in that mouth? I have to do a 
science fair expirement, but have no research onthe subject that i can find.
I just need the 2 part question answered so that i can get started. Thank you!
