easier to care for a pet in an emergency with an
established relationship and medical records.

exam. is ensures your pet is routinely being
checked from nose to tail. Regular dental
screening can oen catch early warning signs

many local classes offered. Sometimes veterinary
technicians can "pin" a dog or notice it may have a
certain temperament when young. Listening to their
suggestions can benefit everyone further down
the road.

vomiting/diarrhea make up 60% of daily cases.
