No longer would your beloved pet be able to walk, eat, or breathe without a significant amount of pain.

Anyone could bring in their pet just to have a checkup. Simple, life threating diseases can be caught just by taking animals to the vet monthly. With a discounted clinic, more animals could be brought in, and potentially more lives could be saved. All...
