Our Lola has Passed On but Her Story will Continue to Help Others

It is with a very heavy heart that I have to report that our beloved Lola has passed on. She was 15 years and 3 months old and lived for more than 8 years after I stopped giving her Heartgard Medications for Flea & Tick and Heartworm. When she first started experiencing her awful seizures at age 6, I thought there was no way that she would live to see age 7 or, at best, 8. I thank God that my research prompted me to stop giving her the Heartgard medications. My family and I were able to enjoy another 8 years of our beautiful and loving Lola.

I credit natural medications with her longevity (Golden Retrievers typically have a maximum life span of 12 years!). In recent years I've purchased from www.Chewy.com their "Aches + Pains" by Vet's+Best & other natural pet remedies that have helped Lola tremendously. I cannot endorse highly enough their natural "Aches + Pains" medication for helping to ease Lola's old age hip pain and for helping her (and me!) to get a good night's sleep for the last 3 years of her life.  Here is the link for the affordable "Aches + Pains" on the Chewy.com website:
