June 6, 2007 Published weekly by VetLocator.com Welcome!
Greetings! This week our first story discusses findings that dog owners are in better health than non-dog owners, (not surprising at all to owners of very active dogs :). Our next story discusses how puppy mills are marketing puppies via the internet in order to circumvent regulations, and what you MUST do if you are tempted to purchase a puppy online. With summer here our article on lawn treatments being hazardous to pets serves as a reminder to be alert to toxins that can affect our pets and ourselves. Our last article solves a problem most cat owners face, what to do about stinky, messy cat boxes. Here is one answer, toilet train your cat and here is how to do it. We have a very special video this week, actually an article and two videos, about Christian, a lion purchased from Harrods Department Store in London in the late 60's, and his journey from a suburbanite lion to being released into the wilds of Africa.

More and more sites are linking to us. Here is a recent mention from "Natural Health Blog for Pets and Their People" An Easy-to-Use Vet Directory
We've found a great source for locating House Call Vets, Equine Vets, Emergency Animal Hospitals and all kinds of pet health care specialists. They make it easy to find the best VETERINARY SPECIALIST for your pet. You can search by animal type, Veterinarian's NAME, procedures, specialties, hours, insurance and more. You can search for BOARDING kennels, PET SITTERS, GROOMERS, and more services under the OTHER PET PROFESSIONALS tab. Check out their ALTERNATIVE and HOLISTIC directory for Vets and other Pet Professionals offering complimentary pet health care including Holistic treatment, Pet Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Massage, NAET, T-Touch and more. Best of all, their Vet Locator Hotline helps you find an Emergency Animal Hospital within 50 miles of your zip code if available. Even if they don't have a vet listed within a reasonable drive from your home, they provide lots of useful information. We especially like their clear check-list for when to seek emergency help AND their suggested list of supplies for your own home and travel pet first aid kit. ------- If there are any other suggestions or features you would like to see added or changed about VetLocator.com, please let us know by emailing me at abferguson@vetlocator.com.
