Radar is very slowly gaining weight, which is surprising because he has not eaten a full meal in 3 days. I would like to see him gain another 5-10lbs.

On a side note: Delta is having no problem gaining and Hudson is holding steady because of all the calories his tail wagging burns🤣🤣🤣

Senior Canine Health & Wellness. 🐾

This new and exciting instructor-led program was created for the people who want to give their dogs the best possible care throughout their later years.
Participants will learn how to:

• Recognize subtle physical and behavioural changes
• Support mobility, comfort and independence
• Understand changes in sleep, senses and cognition
• Monitor nutrition, hydration and daily wellbeing
• Know when a change can be monitored—and when veterinary care is needed
• Prepare for emergencies and difficult future decisions
The course also includes a comprehensive participant manual and companion care journal to use at home.
