If your dog or cat shows signs of ageing and ‘losing the plot’ have them health-checked first; diabetes, urinary tract infections and some endocrine disorders can give rise to similar symptom pictures. THESE AILMENTS can still be treated ensuring your pet maintains the quality of life YOU expect without prolonging life as a chronic sufferer.
