What are we waiting for? Let the holiday season begin!

What do you get for the cat or dog who has everything? The holidays are here and you probably want to get your pet the perfect gift but he or she already seems to have all his or her needs covered. What's something fun, interactive, maybe even homemade?

Here are some gift guides that might give you some ideas:

...You Can Donate Money to Charity
      Without Actually Spending Money?

The Holidays are a time for sharing and giving to those less fortunate. But what if you don't have any extra money? How do you support pets in need:

Charity Donations that Don't Cost You Anything

The Giving Spirit of the Season: Charity and Non-Profit Donation At No Cost To You

During the Holiday Season, we send special good wishes to those in need and focus extra attention on helping those in need. Many of us would love to send money to charity but have little to spare. Luckily, there are ways to support your favorite charities (our favorites are local animal rescue groups) without actually spending your own money. Here's how:

Animals require proper certification for travel especially where foreign countries are involved but what about Santa's reindeer? They have to be in tip-top shape for their big flight plus it is important that they do not transfer infectious agents from one country to another. How are they certified?

Turns out that certification of Santa's herd is part of the job for the president of the AVMA.

We are honored when our clients refer their friends and family to our hospital and as a token of thanks, we credit their account $25 for each new client they bring. This month we wish to thank:
