really feel that their pets are part of their family and that the
veterinarian is the “other family doctor”, said Dr. Michele Belisle.

will prolong their lives together”.

are integral in assisting people understand what it is their pet needs.
Pets rely on us for annual checkup, proper dental care, exercise
