A colleague of mine, Sharon Wachsler (CPDT-KA KPA-CTP), recently wrote a great article about veterinary medicine and service dogs that I wanted to pass along.

I personally went ahead and wrote a nice email to my veterinarian thanking her for everything she and the team does for my dogs and then passed the article along, noting that I wasn't sure if they had any service dog teams as clients outside of my dad and I, but that I thought it might be helpful.

This is something you also might consider doing before your next visit or when going to a new veterinarian.

Have a great day!

This means communication about a service dog's unique care needs is critical to get the best outcome for all concerned.

What a great article! In all my years of having dogs, I'd never heard of a "surgical recovery suit". What a GREAT idea!
