Don’t hold anything back when you take your dog to the veterinarian. Always ask questions, especially if you don’t understand the diagnosis, prognosis or treatment your dog needs.

Most veterinarians welcome questions from pet owners. It lets them know that you genuinely care about your dog.

Several years ago, when one of my dogs started coughing until he passed out, we took him to our veterinarian who ran a series of tests. After determining that our dog had irregular heartbeats that led to fainting spells, our vet referred our dog to the Texas A&M University Small Animal Hospital in College Station, Texas.

After spending a day at the A&M hospital, doctors there were able to diagnose my dog’s illness and prescribed a treatment that prolonged his life. Thanks to their research, care and medicine, my sweet dog got three extra years of quality life.
