11:30 - 12:00 "The Golden Years"- Depending on their size, many pets are considered senior or approaching senior at age 7. We will discuss what to expect as pets age, what's normal, and what pet owners can do to make their pets more comfortable and remain healthy as they age.
2:30-3:00 "Finally a Forever Home"- We'll discuss what to expect when adopting a pet from a shelter and how to deal with some of the challenges that can arise if a shelter pet has "baggage".
