Canine Cognitive Dysfunction....a Serious Senior Dog Issue...


Realizing your most beloved furry child is aging and changing is difficult...Once one realizes what is going on with their senior pup, the pacing, getting disoriented or stuck in strange places in your home, you can start to help your pup if this is caught early, with various herbs and brain vitamins....

Here are a couple of videos talking about this subject...Please do research so that you can do as much as you can to help your senior pup if this is developing. 

I found this lady, Eileen Anderson on YouTube when looking for information about this.  I then was lead to her book on Amazon, which I have purchased, have read, and am using some of her suggestions, with adding some of the vitamins to Michael's food....I do highly recommend her book.

Michaelangelo's Dental Adventures




This is not Michaelangelo's first dance with the dentist!!!  This would be his third

time having teeth removed!!  The first two times were with his vets, The Hawthrone

Vet Clinic in Portland, Oregon.  They are not a "cheap" vet by any means, and the last

dental cleaning/teeth pulling cost approximately $1100 or so....This one he just had was

about the same. 



I heard about Forever Pets from someone I bumped into while walking one of my

pup clients!  I told them of my woes, having to come up with quite a sum of

money to get him sorted out!  He insisted I check out Forever Pets Dental Clinic

in Vancouver, Washington, just in case they can help me.  Indeed, I contacted them,

made an appointment for Michael and for a mere $25 I had an exam with the Vet

to determine with his records, age, needs, etc. he was a good client for them! 



Indeed, they were happy to meet Michel and agreed wholeheartedly that he

would be green light to go!  He ended up having 3 roots and 5 teeth all taken out,

one being one of his fangs, bless him, that was the last one....With quite a bit of

peridontal disease, we have him all polished up, on the mend, and he will be getting

what teeth he has left BRUSHED DAILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
