Congratulations to the Pawtriots for Win VetOlympics 2013!
  

Sincere thanks to our competing veterinary hospital teams for making the 1st Annual VetOlympics a success! The efforts of all our Connecticut and New York teams allowed us to raise needed funds for Animal Cancer Foundation's efforts to cure pet & human cancer.

 

Opening ceremonies included remarks by lead sponsors Bank of America.  Costumed teams then took the field in games of physical and mental challenge to decide who would be crowned "The Greatest Veterinary Hospital in the World."  Each teams showed agility, strength, and spirit as they battled for points in team building events like "The Stream Crossing", "The Human Knot", "The White Lie", "Minute to Win It", and "Puzzle".

Dogs are Much More than Man's Best Friend!
  
Have you ever been told you look just like your favorite pet?  The similarity is more than just skin deep; recent studies comparing genetic similarities between dogs and people are demonstrating that we look a lot like our pets on the inside as well, sharing genetic pathways for developing disease.
