yep and the dhpp one I guess was useless too as it does not rate all the dogs in the country

We cannot educate every dog owner in the country but we sure can educate the pet owners that are on here and since liver disease is so prevalent in this breed then it is important to know what vets are prescribing to this breed for pain medication. Also this breed has alot of digestive issues and ibd dogs should not get nsaids either.

Op the best thing I think is when the death of one dog helps save the life of another so If your friend can get the facts to help possibly save another dogs life here and that her dog did not die in vain.
