Do you own an emergency first aid kit for your pet? Do you have your veterinarian's phone number posted in a conspicuous place? Do you know that certain flea collars that are perfectly safe for dogs and cats can be lethal to rabbits? Are you aware of the many advantages to spaying/neutering your pet?

Responsible pet ownership is about more than feeding and sheltering an animal. It is about knowledge, caring, and compassion. It is about emergency preparedness and prevention. It is about providing your pet with the quality life he or she deserves.
