Summary Back for our 3rd episode in the Lifestages series with Drew Webster, CBDC, and Mark Drucker, we discuss the various life stages of dogs, focusing on adulthood and seniorhood. We explore the behavioral changes that occur during these stages, the importance of proactive care, and the significance of understanding a dog's genetic makeup. Our conversation also delves into dental care for adult dogs and the concept of cooperative care in veterinary practices, emphasizing the need for pet owners to engage their dogs in their own care routines. We highlight the complexities of caring for dogs, particularly as they transition into their senior years, and we also discuss the importance of cooperative care, proactive training, and understanding behavioral changes that may indicate pain or discomfort. Main Takeaways - Understanding a dog's genetic makeup can enhance training. - Regular veterinary check-ups are crucial during adulthood. - Creating purpose for adult dogs enhances their well-being. - Behavior changes in pets can indicate underlying health problems.
