Keep Your Dog Living Better, Loving Longer!

You can teach an old dog new tricks--and give him the best care possible. The good news is that dogs are living much longer lives--thanks to advances in veterinary technology. But older dogs do have special needs and require additional emotional support, nutritional help, and medical care. A longer life span also means more dogs suffer age-related conditions such as kidney problems, arthritis, cancer, stroke, senility, and diabetes.

--Which pet-specific over-the-counter medications every owner should keep on hand
--Tips on everything from choosing the right products and food for your aging dog to performing nursing care at home
--How to use the L.O.V.E. Program to keep your dog loving longer and living better
--Different life spans and concerns for different breeds
