Avoid adopter’s remorse by knowing the A to Zs of animal care.
All too often, individuals experience “buyer’s remorse” once their cute little adopted dog soils the living room carpet or chews a favorite piece of furniture, or their newly adopted cat vomits on the bed. This session is intended to cover animal care from A to Z: socialization, medical care, do’s and don’ts, how to choose a good veterinarian, growing old with your pet, and more.
There will be plenty of opportunities for Q & A.

What to expect: Learn how to properly care for pets, how to properly socialize your new family member, how to provide good medical care and maintain a healthy life for your pet without breaking the bank, and more.
