The initial advice and instructions you receive from your vet are invaluable.

In my career I have been witness to many things; some beautiful and some tragic.

Use these guidelines to aspire to the best owner possible. Your dog certainly deserves it.

I walk from kennel to kennel, sometimes overrun with 12-15 dogs and identify whose time has legally expired. After a quick inspection I give a nod to my assistant to write the acronym that sentences them to death, PTS or “Put To Sleep.”
