Canine Aging, Choosing Supplements and More

Join us on Facebook Live for answers to your questions!

On Thursday, January 27, at 8 p.m. EST, Antinol® will host Dr. Leilani Alvarez, DVM, DACVSMR, to answer your questions about supplements, aging (dogs, not humans) and more.

We invite you to submit your questions in advance to news@usdaa.com, and we’ll make sure they are covered during the session or respond directly afterwards if we run out of time.

The special live Q&A seminar can be seen here when you are on Facebook and will be rebroadcast later and posted on USDAA.com.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, about a third of U.S. dog owners use supplements to help their dogs lead long, happy, healthy lives. While it can be hard deciding on one supplement over another, Dr. Alvarez puts her faith in the research behind the products. Read more and watch a video here.
