The Big Boom!

 

Does your pet:
- get nervous or pant before or during storms? 
- shake and drool before or during storms? 
- try to hide or run away from noises? 
- pace or seem restless during storms or loud noises? 
- whine during storms or loud noises? 
- stays close to you during storms or loud noises?

Learn ways to help your pet be less afraid of storms and loud noises. There are other options than just sedating them! DAP, special music, training and many other treatments are available for pets who are afraid.

Dr. Foote will be presenting this topic at Prairieland Feeds in Savoy on April 7th from 2 - 3 pm.

This seminar is for humans only. Please leave your pets at home. There is no fee for the seminars.
