Feline hyperthyroidism and chronic renal failure (CRF) are common diseases in senior cats.

Such thankful and happy faces!  There are so many things to be thankful for in our day-to-day life but food, I think,...

Here at NHV, we absolutely love witnessing the day-to-day life of some of our furry customers. Cleo is a 14-year-old senior beagle.
