With Christmas around the corner, I need to make the usual annual plea: do not give pets as presents. People continue to do this every year: animal rescue groups have to deal with the results. Pets are abandoned after the novelty has worn off.
Please don t let this happen: don t give pets as presents.
This year, I am happy to announce an alternative gift for pet owners. I m talking about a gift membership for a new pet information website.
For many years, I have been talking about animal care in public: as a vet, I enjoy sharing my knowledge with readers, television viewers and radio listeners. I often stress to pet owners that if they have queries or problems with their pets, then they should visit their local vet. But vets are busy people, and owners often have questions that they may not wish to bother their own vets about. And that s why I have been kept so busy answering queries through my work in the media.
