Easing Vet Visit Vexations

Tax time is here! Now is the perfect time to take your animal to the vet.  As pet owners, we all know how traumatic it can be to take your animal to the vet. The hissing, growling, whining, the defensive scratching or biting, the loss of control of the bladder or bowels —anxiety is just downright unpleasant for your pet and you.

 

Avoid Becoming Fido’s Chew Toy

Pop quiz: A dog walks into your yard and starts to growl at you. What do you do? Do you approach him? Run away from him? Look him in the eyes to try to stare him down? If you pick the wrong answer, you may join the more than 4 million Americans (over half of who are children) who are bitten by dogs each year.

Our March Newsletter is now available! Here is a sneak peak!

Feline Frenzy

Basketball is always the topic of conversation in March. This year, basketball is also a hot topic at the New Albany Animal Shelter along with kitten season. Soon, the shelter will be overrun with moms and babies. While the shelter does not euthanize due to space, it can easily become crowded and overwhelming for these already stressed animals. Stressed mothers can have a harder time keeping their little ones healthy while they grow.

                To help promote adoptions and reduce overcrowding, the Shelter is embracing basketball madness and holding our Feline Frenzy, Shooting for Savings Promotion.  This promotion will be held March 15-31st, 2013.

Can Pets Save Your Life?

Throughout history, pets have proven to be great companions, loyal partners, and our best friends.   However, studies show that pets do far more for their families then just that. We aren’t just talking about the guide dogs, medical alert dogs, and other assistance animals either.   There are many proven physical, mental, and social benefits to owners whose animals are not specially trained.
