		<description><![CDATA[Supplements can literally be life savers. Over the past several weeks I’ve seen two ‘friend of the family’ dogs live considerably longer than expected simply due to supplements (and both dogs were terminal due to diseases caused by medical treatments prescribed for non-fatal diseases).
