Welcome to Citizen Pet's e-newsletter where you'll find more editorial about our animal companions and information to help you keep your pets healthy and happy. In this issue we look at a new partnership between the Calgary Humane Society and Kijiji that will make adopting pets online safer for both pets and their guardians, promote responsible breeders and help eliminate backyard breeders and puppy mills. We'll also look at the proper way to interact with wildlife and tips on setting up a salt-water aquarium. As always we include a "Training Tip of the Month" and our "Book of the Month," along with a list of upcoming events and some special offers.
