Pets as Family
This series of 11 stories examining pet welfare first appeared in The Press in June of 2006. Due to numerous requests from our readers we have reprinted these stories to help pet owners better understand how drugs used in surgery or to treat common ailments can have unintended detrimental effects on the family pet. We hope this information will help those of you who treat your pets like members of the family.
