Is Your Dog Drinking So Much?
Like all mammals, dogs need to drink water in sufficient amounts to keep their
bodies functioning normally.
Severe dehydration can even result in death.
It's not just a summer problem. This informative article from
Your
Dog Advisor© will tell you what to look out for.

prowess. Naomi Hosker believes, however, that they can succeed at
agility the same as any other breed. She says they're are just like
any other dog, only smaller.
