Owner’s beware of hormone toxicity when using topical hormone therapies.  When hugging your pet and they lick you then they get some.  Lengthy exposures in dogs could heighten their risk of mammary cancer and other disorders.

When Hiking with your dog be sure to take extra food and water.  Know the rules of the area and follow them.  Make sure vaccines are current and most of all take a pet first aid kit.

When visiting your Veterinarian take a no skid/no slip bath mat to use on the table.  What a confort for your pet.

When visiting your veterinarian bring a fresh fecal sample with you.  If it is wanted you have helped in your pets health care.  If it isn’t needed, they can throw it in their trash (and save you the cost of disposal!)
