Compounders can also tailor medication flavor, make medicated treats, and combine different medications into one treat or capsule. So when
your veterinarian sends you to a compounding

These tragedies played out on televisions, newspapers
and
websites,
prompting outrage that there was no
plan in place to help pets and companion ani-
mals. Countless pets died or were sent to shelters, many never to be reunited with their families.
Animal rescuers flocked to the area and did their
best to find the animals left, breaking into
homes if necessary, and searching the streets for animals that had been abandoned.
A new law to protect animals in natural disasters It was clear that the government had underesti-
mated the strength of the bond between people
and their animals. The public outrage that fol-
lowed the hurricane led to some lasting change for pets in disaster situations. Less than a year after
Katrina,
the
Pet
Evacuation
Transportation Standards (PETS) Act of 2006 was created in a bipartisan effort.
The law demands that state and local govern-
ments factor pets into emergency evacuation
plans, and authorize the use of funds for rescue workers to "procure, construct, or renovate
emergency shelter facilities and materials that will temporarily accommodate people with pets and service animals."
"The scene from New OrlĂŠans of a 9-year-old little boy crying because he was not allowed to
take his little white dog Snowball was too much to bear," explained then-U.S. Rep. Tom Lantos of California, who was the primary bill propos-
er then. "Personally, I know I wouldn't have been able to leave my little white dog Masko to
a fate of almost certain death. As I watched the
images of the heartbreaking choices the Gulf
residents had to make, I was moved to find a
