Today’s dogs battle more health challenges than ever before, according to Dr. Coger. She cites rising cancer rates, growing numbers of autoimmune conditions and struggles to mitigate the effects of increased chemical exposure, environmental toxins and a seemingly never-ending string of life threatening food recalls as key challenges facing today’s dog owners.
Dr. Coger states, “Our best friends’ lifespans are getting shorter and we need to reverse that trend. Now, more than ever, we have to learn to make smart choices that will give our dogs the long, healthy and happy lives they deserve.”
