Well Mindy, I don't take what seems to be a fatalistic view of health. I believe that science evidenced based research can truly help to inform our decisions. And it is necessary to do. Absolutely.
I do agree that despite the best knowledge we have at the time, dogs get sick, so do humans, but that doesn't mean we should not try to understand why, and hopefully find preventatives. There is no 100% guarantee on life, except that death will come to all of us, and if you are human Taxes too
