The After Easter Bunny




Hi Everyone!

 Wow! Did I meet someone who's really cool this week!

"Nugget" is my new Bunny friend! And I like her a lot!

  Because "Nugget" was rescued by Kaemi, one of our Animal Assistants, I wanted to take a minute and talk about all the homeless Bunnies out there. Especially because "Nugget" was probably a Easter gift at one time.

Kaemi & Nugget
   
When I first met "Nugget" I was a little scared. I wasn't really sure what she was about. But then, after a few minutes, we were best friends.  Bunnies are very sweet and loving creatures and they need special care.



   Easter is a happy time to hunt for eggs and it invokes images of cute animals. Unfortunately, it's not always a happy time for live bunnies who are sometimes bought as a Easter "presents". Unfortunately, not all of these Bunnies are cared for properly or even kept after the Holiday.    

  
   All animals, especially young ones, need to be taken care of properly. They just can't be placed in a cage and given food and water every now and then in order for them to live happy and healthy lives. Kaemi takes "Nugget" out of her cage regularly to hop and run around.
Exercise is very important for all of us.
  
 



  Just like adopting a dog or a cat is a lifetime commitment. They don't have a short life span. A Rabbit can live up to 12 years. So it's really something to think about. 

 If you would truly like to help an animal, please consider adoption. Animal shelters and rescue groups are overwhelmed with Rabbits and other "Holiday pets" after Easter.

Thank you for being kind to all animals,



Speck

Pet Insurance: Better Safe Than Sorry!


Hi Again!

  Today I was telling Josh, one of our Registered Veterinary Technicians, how I had almost gotten into an accident recently.


  I had decided it was a good idea to jump out of my Mom's arms and into the car. Turns out I almost missed, and I really could have hurt myself!

 Josh was pretty surprised that I didn't have pet insurance! 




 
  Then he told me that if I had pet insurance, and something had happened and I had gotten hurt, insurance would have  helped my Family pay my medical expenses.



  I asked Josh which Pet Insurance he thought was best. He explained that Trupanion Medical Insurance is what our Doctors recommend to our Clients.

So I checked it out.

  I learned that Trupanion has been taking care of dogs and cats for over a decade! And they promise to treat you as if you were they're own.

  They also have no payout limits. That means they won't cut off your care or raise your rates just because you're unlucky or you develop a chronic illness.  
 

  Trupanion also pays for the "big stuff". Your policy picks up to 90% of Veterinay costs, including hospital stays, testing, medications and surgeries, and other treatments you may need when you're ill or injured.

  Your family can also pick a deductible that works for their budget. You can even get an instant quote!



  So call Trupanion 855 491-3021 or visit their website today! trupanion.com

You may even qualify for a 30 day free trial coverage offer!

Pet insurance can make a difficult time a lot easier. And It's nice to feel protected,
