I loved this book! There are some great pearls in here for helping to more compassionately manage the common ailments of our cute senior patients and their families. I highly recommend it for all small animal practitioners.

This book was such an interesting read and should be mandatory for all veterinarians. I had a 17 year old Labrador at the time so I learned a tremendous amount from reading this book, unfortunately too late, but still, I’m glad I have it.
