10. Raw and Real: Senior Dachshunds and End of Life Care

Today, I talk with Christy Caplan, vet tech, freelance writer, and author of the blog WagAndCluck.com. Christly helped me a lot when I was navigating life with my first senior Dachshund, Chester. In this raw and real discussion, we define what a senior dog is to us, share how we navigate care when a cascade of things start to go wrong, and share insight into how to know when it's time to let a beloved pet go.
