Real pet parent questions : You ask, our vets answer
When it comes to helping pet parents with their fur baby questions, we’re all ears. Our vets have started to dig up a little list of all the things we get asked a lot. Things like, how much water should Tex be drinking? Or, how can I keep Tinkerbell from playing next door?
Obviously we would never want you to think that these answers are written exactly for your fur baby––they’re not. They’re based on real cases that needed non-urgent help. But we do hope by showing you what other pet parents have been through, you just might ask us your own questions to help your pet.
