I found a great site, Sugar Mill Vet Center on St Croix, which furnishes links for pet owners. Since many parents consider giving the gift of a pet for Christmas - but pets are also being "donated" in the thousands to shelters nationwide because of owners' financial difficulties - here are some sites which will give you more information and help you consider the needs of our furry best friends.
National Animal Poison Control Center
USDA Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service
American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
American Assn of Feline Practioners
Hawaii Resources:
Hawaii State Dept of Agriculture (pet quarantine information)
Let's be responsible pet owners this holiday season. Contact me with any questions on bringing pets into Hawaii and our animal care resources.
