“Irrespective of your dogs’ age, this book is an excellent and informative read. Older dogs are the best reference for owners of puppies and younger dogs since they inform us about signs of age-related disorders and conditions that may baffle their owners or be missed altogether.

Suggestions are offered to help prevent problems for your dog in later life, such as the use of supplements, regular exercise and dental care. Photographs in the book not only aid our understanding of the subject matter, they are a wonderful collection of […]
