How to prevent parasites, parvovirus, and other common illnesses affecting dogs
Dogs have been our most faithful and loyal companions for ages. They have become so ingrained in human life that they are considered by many to be family members.
Over the past few decades, dogs have become an even greater part of our lives. We send them to doggie daycare for socialization and entertainment and training classes for agility and obedience. We allow them to sleep on couches and in beds, take them to dog parks, and provide them with delicious and nutritious food. We care as much about their health and happiness as we do our own. To best care for our dogs, it is important that we keep an eye on their health.
