Dr. Meyer’s Top Ten Secrets for Well-Behaved Dogs & Happy Humans
In her practice, Dr. E. Kathryn Meyer, VMD sees the results of unintentional mistakes we make with our dogs. Wrong information, bad advice and lack of attention can have long-lasting consequences, especially during a puppy’s sensitive development stages or when adolescent or adult dogs are introduced to a new home.
