Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation (Canine Rehabiliation, www.arwi.com): John, a kind DOG TALK listener, wanted me to let other people know about this extraordinary facility for canine rehabilitation in North Carolina. I hope you never need it, but if it should happen that you do, here's a facility you should know about, www.arwi.com
Follow-up from John:
"With regard to pet food, several years ago we decided to feed raw, because our dogs do well with it. It was after having bad experiences with commercial food that we changed to raw. Then I read articles like yours, Tracie, and for us, I knew we had made the right decision. To support your thesis, here are a few articles I've come across that make your position stronger."
