Preventative care is a must when our family is concerned. However, do we follow this regarding all members of our household?

Our pets, dogs and cats are family, and they, too, must have all the necessary preventatives for their good health.

A bill, in the works in Augusta, offered by Rep. Peter Rines of Wiscasset, calling for Pet Vaccine Disclosure, would require veterinarians to give disclosure sheets prior to vaccinating your pet and to require giving disclosure sheets with prescriptive medications. This could very possibly avoid serious or deadly overdoses.

The Maine Veterinary Medical Association battled against this in the past.

I urge you to support Rep. Rines’ bill.

It can save you heartache and finances.
