Kawaguchi established “Roken Honpo” because the founder realized many dog owners have stress when caring for their older dogs. But the thought of putting their family member to sleep was something they could not deal with. Where could they take them where they would be happy and also receive good care?
Kawaguchi and the staff of “Roken Honpo” are work untiringly to keep these dogs who are in their care comfy. Their patients are suffering from some various ailments such as blindness, digestive issues, dementia, and joint disease. However, a veterinarian checks regularly on the resident dogs, and their owners are very welcome to visit them anytime.
While facilities like “Roken Honpo” are a good alternative than giving dogs up to overcrowded shelters, how kind is it to preserve the dog’s life while they are unable to walk, hurting, or unaware? People who decide this option are either unable to watch their dogs suffer any more or struggling to provide them adequate care.
While some of us could not think of others taking care of our elderly pup it does make sense to others. Some owners of older dogs are senior citizens themselves. It would be comforting to know their pooch was well cared for while they take care of themselves.
No one wants to think about putting a furry family member down and it is nice to know an option like this exists. To read more about this important topic, go to Ur Dogs.
