5 Ways to Strengthen the Bond with Your Pet
Our pets are constant companions, and a source of joy, support, and comfort. More than half of all U.S. households have at least one dog or cat and many have multiple pets. There is a growing societal awareness of the human-animal bond and pets are taking on larger roles including service animals, therapy support, and disease detection such as seizures in humans.

Our Animal Emergency Care team knows that your pets are family and we have compiled five ways to build on and strengthen the special bond you share with your four-legged companion.
