Tips for caring for your older doggie.
Dogs begin to show visible age-related changes at about seven to twelve years of age. There are metabolic, immunologic and body composition changes, too. Some of these are unavoidable. Others can be managed with diet.
Older dogs have been shown to progressively put on body fat in spite of consuming fewer calories. This change in body composition is inevitable and may be aggravated by either reduced energy expenditure or a change in metabolic rate. Eit...

It may be a rainy morning...but we won't let that dampen our spirits!
Fun Fact of the Day!
Dogs see in color, but not the same way that we do. Veterinary ophthalmologists have found that dogs are similar to people with red/green color blindness, meaning they can see bluish and greenish shades but not reddish ones. To a dog, a bright orange ball on a grassy lawn appears as a light greenish ball in greenish grass. Go fetch!

It’s all over the news recently. People are calling for pet owners to be more responsible for their pets, and pet owners are asking for more understanding and tolerance from those who don’t own pets. How do we hold pet owners responsible for their animals, and how can we ask those who don’t feel as passionate about animals as we do to accept and respect our differences?
We hope this helps bring people together, or at least makes things easier for everyone.
P.S. We think this applies...
