Does a dog's mouth have more bacteria than a toilet seat?

Actually, yes. Some truly nasty bacteria such as streptococcus (the bacteria that causes strep throat, among other things) is one of many that can be found on toilet seats. A dog's mouth on the other hand, can house colonies of bacteria. Now, just to put that in perspective, the human mouth also houses colonies of bacteria but a dog's mouth has been shown to house significantly more colonies than those of a human. For more information on both bacteria found on toilet seats and bacteria found in a dog's mouth, see the related links.

Depends on whether you already purchased it and whether other parts are needed. If you have the toilet, a Kant leak, a wax seal,FLEXIBLE toilet supply, and the (nuts,bolts and washers) for screwing the toilet to the floor flange, plumber should not charge more than one hour of his rate to install it. Make sure the plumber does NOT silicone around the toilet. If there is a leak from the wax seal under the toilet and it is siliconed, the water stays under the toilet and rots the floor, if you are on a wood floor.
