Managing Special Needs & Chronic Conditions in Dogs
As the baby boomers are aging, tips on maintaining our health and maximizing our quality of life are frequent topics of discussion. We know that better medical care and nutrition have contributed to a longer life span than we had just a couple of generations ago. The same is true for our pets.
