Here is what the typical symptom-management journey looks like.
Tear stains — buy the specialist wipes.
Ear infection — the vet prescribes ear drops.
Paw licking — try an antifungal spray.
Bad breath — add a dental chew.
Loose stools — switch to a bland diet.
Grass eating — try a digestive supplement.
Bum scooting — another vet visit.
Seven symptoms. Seven products. Seven separate ongoing costs. And the same dog, still uncomfortable, because nobody connected the dots.
