At Dogville, helping owners care for senior dogs and special needs dogs is one of the reasons we exist. Our staff is on site 24 hours a day and we can support you with specialized care, pain management, and dietary support. We work with you and your veterinarian to make sure your senior dog is cared for with compassion and dignity in mind.
HERE IS AN ARTICLE we felt would be a helpful informative read for our friends with older pets. From WHEN YOU LOVE AN OLD DOG, MANAGING CARE CAN BE A CHALLENGE:
“…America’s 70 million dogs, like their human companions, are living longer, on average, because of better medical care and nutrition. Caring for elderly dogs can be heart-wrenching. Many pet owners struggle to understand when to pursue aggressive care and when to stop and help a beloved pet pass on.”
