  I’ve probably visited virtually every veterinary hospital in Southern California to try and spread the word about Aquamation, as well as how we pet owners want our pets treated in their aftercare. As with any other business, not all hospitals are created equal! So, while I traverse the state, I do a lot of thinking about how the normal pet owner should evaluate a potential hospital.

But have you considered whether or not your stress is causing your dog stress? We've all done this before without even being conscious of it. We come home, walk in with frustration, toss our belongings down and ignore the dog that's been anxiously awaiting our return. They felt stress all day because we were...
