“Dogs don’t age like people. We peak at twenty-five, then hit a slow, gradual decline into oblivion. Dogs mature fast, then plateau and stay there for a long while. Then, in the last quarter of their lives, they show steady signs of aging – arthritis, deafness, graying, slowing down.”
– Steve Duno, author of Last Dog on the Hill

Izzy, a greyhound, is the Poster Dog of The Balanced Dog. In 2020, she will be turning 11. Thanks for reading my blog and we look forward to bringing you more doggy news in the year to come.

If you are concerned about your dog’s caloric intake over Christmas, I strongly recommend a massage voucher for a gift – no calories, and we will get your dog moving better so they actually burn more calories which helps with weight loss.
