California is among one of the states in need of more veterinarians.
It’s not realized just how valuable they are. They are not only there for your pets routine check ups and vaccines, they are needed in many facilities and situations.
Shelters to care for pets picked up in distress.
Those could include not only strays, but runaways or lost pets, hit by cars etc.24 hour emergency care, and specialty hospitals for the pets we so dearly love and need cared for.
This growing lack of veterinarians could result in longer waits and bigger bills.
Hopefully we will see a boost of care in the near future coming from popular veterinary schools like UC Davis.

Let your dog run loose with Sniff Spot!
Sniffspot gives dog owners the option to rent not only beautiful back yards, but pool areas for play, as well!
If you’re familiar with Air B n B this is very similar.
This can be any yard or area privately owned and available to rent for a certain amount of time on a particular day.In fact, if YOU have an amazing yard that you want to rent out for some pup to play, you might find yourself making some good money.
Dog owners like myself are always looking for a private hillside or area to run the dog.
I say thumbs up on this app!**Always be cautious, read the fine print, and pick up after your pooch!
