Dog Drop 101

After checking the records sent in with the dogs, the examination begins. Every effort is made to take a moment to simply pat or scratch the dog and call it by name, recognizing it as an individual, not simply one more dog. I’ve even overheard vets who’ve remembered dogs from one year to the next, so the care is there. Nor is this simply a “when we have time” procedure. The procedure remains the same no matter what the weather.
