Ah, man’s best friend!
For centuries dogs have been man’s companion in work & play. His faithful companion through thick or thin, good and bad, and everything in between.
On these pages you will find lots of information to help guide you in many different areas of dog ownership.
From simple companion to the perfect show dog and everything in between we strive to bring you the knowledge to make you a better dog owner.
Don’t forget about our forums too! You can ask real people who own many different breeds all kinds of questions about dogs. Or just come in and talk about dogs! ©
Based on a chart developed by Fred L. Metzger, DVM, Dipl. ABVP; State College, PA
Use the chart provided above to find the relative age of your pet.
If your pet's relative age is over 40 years many veterinarians recommend a Senior Pet Exam that may include a physical, bloodwork, urinalysis, EKG, and xrays.
Each pet is different and the exact procedures included in your pet's Senior Exam will be determined by you, your pet and your veterinarian.
