There is a growing body of scientific research that highlights the positive impacts of companion animals –especially dogs and cats –on our well-being and that of our families. Our pets contribute to mental and emotional health, promote physical activity, social interaction, and even keep our brains fired! AND they can even help us live longer by reducing our stress levels and keeping US exercised!

SOOOO …What IF… one day… our beloved pets could live longer healthier lives and still be with us in our ripe old age?
