Those of us that have pets can say that we love them with our entire hearts and would do anything for their happiness, safety, and comfort. While a pet may be a man's best friend, we are that pet's entire life. They don't know or can even fathom a life without us, so it's our responsibility to give them the best life possible.

Unfortunately, life isn't always sunshine and rainbows when you own a pet as there are tons of bills and duties associated with the tasks. Going to the vet can be one of the worst times for not only the pet but those who have to pay for those visits. Nothing throws a monkey wrench in your plans and feelings like having to rush your pet to the vet for an emergency.

For some people, this is harder than others as they don't live near an emergency facility or better yet, some places don't have an emergency facility at all. Other places are dealing with situations where the emergency centers are understaffed and aren't always open when needed. That's why recent news from Kalamazoo will help many pet owners relax and take a sigh of relief.
