Scout, a 12-year-old black Labrador, the dog behind Wellhound

They give us their whole world.
Let's understand theirs.

Scout, our 12-year-old black Lab, started whining, eating grass and biting his paws. We thought he was just getting older. After we put him down, our vet said those can be signs of a stomach issue. Nobody was tracking the changes. I'm building Wellhound so the changes in your dog get noticed.

A change to bring to his vet.

Illness can start quietly.

≈75%

of functioning kidney filters may be lost before waste levels become abnormally high in the blood.1

No obvious signs.

Early kidney disease can be present while a dog looks well and routine tests still appear normal.2

The small things count.

Pain can be quiet. A smaller appetite, slower walks, or a change in their usual behavior may be clues.3
