Featured Pet Story
“We were visiting friends out of state and playing in the snow when Toblerone jumped up to catch a snowball. When he came down, he twisted his leg and we heard a snap like a broomstick. He immediately started screaming and limping and we rushed him to an emergency clinic. The vet at the clinic took one look at him and told us that we would have to see an orthopedist.”
