I agree that a puppy daycare is definitely better than a puppy left in a crate for 8 plus hours per day. But if they can be avoided, I still...
Not many of our current five ever gave a vocal signal that they needed to do their business and it can be quite frustrating with some of them....
Many Vets still pressure their clients to early neuter and spay but the prevailing thought is that the later the better for the long term heath of...
