Pawsome Pets in North Haven helped to make a difference for local dogs in need.

Inspired by holiday toy drives, Where the Love Is decided to team up with local businesses like ours and put together a drive for dogs at their shelter who were in need of homes and donations for food, toys, treats, vet bills and more. They sent us ornaments of all the dogs that were adoptable and in need of these gifts and we put them up on our rescue tree in front of our shop and our clients would pick them out and come back with the donation gifts.

With so many veterinarians throughout Connecticut, it may be difficult to find the right doctor for your pet. When choosing a veterinarian you should approach your search with the same considerations as you would when looking for a doctor for yourself. Think about what kind of practice you want to use and the expectations that you have. Do your research online by visiting their website. Learn more about the veterinarians at the practice and their approach to medicine. Evaluate what the staff is like and how the practice runs, especially when it comes to emergency visits, late night or otherwise. Consider the location of the practice, their hours and fees. Get referrals. Although it can be confusing as to which veterinarian is the right fit for your family and pet, take some time to thumb through the next few pages to learn more about some of the local veterinarian practices within your community.
