Oral Health and Senior Pets 
As our pets age, their bodies go through changes much as a human's does, but at a much faster rate. For this reason, among many others, preventative care is very important in preserving your pet's high quality of life.

Periodontal disease is one issue that can affect pets and their owners throughout the animal's life. The health concerns it raises can become more serious as a pet becomes older and potentially more susceptible to certain health issues. read more...

One last parting thought --- remember, while we love our animal companions like family, they are not humans and as such may find Halloween particularly SPOOKY. Helpful tips for a safer Halloween

Have a safe and happy Halloween, and remember candy is not kind, treat your pets with species appropriate snacks!

Sincerely,
Your Friends at
