Pet Vets

Just like you and I, it’s important to have a good veterinarian to help our pets once in a while. I am fortunate enough to live in Fort Collins, Colorado and have a plethora of AWESOME vets, thanks to Colorado State University’s vet school… but what if you don’t? Here’s a link to a pdf about choosing a vet (courtesy of the AVMA).

IN fact, the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) has lots of good information about horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, rabies, wildlife, treating pain in animals, making tough decisions about their life, and the like. Check out the AVMA
