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.

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.

When you could climb a tree in a minute when you were 10, at the age of 40, you might find yourself struggling. Over time, the body becomes less nimble and there is a plethora of other problems. It’s exactly the same for your dog! If the pooch is nearing his 5th birthday, his health is closer to that of a 50-year-old man, so it’s likely he needs more monitoring and frequent checkups.

“I’m comfortable as far as giving the vaccine into an arm, but I know where my job starts and ends for sure,” Mascola said.
