• I receive so many questions regarding overweight pets. Here is a column that ran earlier this year that is important enough to repeat for those who didn’t see it the first time.
• My breeder told me that I should not spay my dog (Black Lab )  until she has had 2-3 heats. Can you give me some clarification?
• We keep hearing that some greyhounds develop corns and wonder if this
  is what it is.
• When should I start brushing my dog’s teeth? Do I wait until he has his adult teeth?
