I’ve treated 8 and 12 year old dogs for Parvo. That said, here’s where nuance matters 👇 • Some core vaccines provide immunity

As our dogs age, it’s natural to notice them sleeping more and more soundly. Senior dogs often require more rest due to changes in their bodies and energy levels. Just like humans, as dogs grow older, their metabolism slows, and they may experience joint discomfort or other health issues that make activity more tiring.

Does your dog sleep a lot? If so, you may be wondering if this is normal behavior. After all, humans usually only sleep for about eight hours a night. Dogs, on the other hand, can sleep for up to 18 hours a day. @bessiethedane is currently crashed in a nice nap on her Big Barker bed! So, why do dogs sleep so much? Well, there are a few reasons.
