I
take issue with lack of exercise and overweight comment, i have two german shepherds 1 is over 12 the other will be 10 in june, my eldest started
to creak at 10 my
vets words, the other is fine at the moment, both of these
dogs have been walked for miles every day of their lives
until the elder 1 started
to slow down, he has been treated with all the usual drugs
until they affected his stomach, i am fortunate that my
vet had a
vet who is qualified in acupuncture for animals, my
dog has responded very well he has a very good quality of life and is happy, it is worth giving it a try or see if you
dog is suitable for this, not every
dog responds but it worked for mine without it he would not be here.
Group B;
takes their puppy
to the local
dog park for exercise and play, but when asked why they are not in a puppy class they answer, «My
vet told me he is too young and I should wait
until his shots are completed.»
