Make sure my pet is current on all innoculations. Help put an end to Puppy Mills by not patronizing pet stores that sell puppies and kittens. Help my dog be a good citizen by attending obedience training. We thought warmer weather would never get here, but the sun is shining, the grass is growing, the leaves are out on the trees, and there are spring flowers popping up everywhere. This is not only annoying to flower lovers, but also may make your pet seriously ill.
Spring brings other hazards for unsuspecting pets, too.
Normally well-behaved companion animals will suddenly become escape artists as instinct triumphs over training.

Some people consider the test and preventative too costly to undergo every year.
