April is Heartworm Awareness Month, which means it's a great time to remember the importance of prevention in our companion animals. To keep your furry friend safe, talk to your vet about year-round prevention.

Today is very important because it's National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day. Perhaps it's the perfect opportunity to welcome a new furry family member into your heart and home. If not, there are other ways to help, such as volunteering or donating to your local shelter. How will you be celebrating?
