People need a plan for their safety and evacuation in the event of fire, flood, tornado etc. Well, so do our dogs, cats and other animals. We need to be sure they aren't left behind. Learn about disaster preparedness for our pets.

Heading to Orlando? Visit the Woof Gang Bakery, dedicated to the canine clientelle.

Finally, do you have a veterinarian who has been especially caring? Gone above and beyond? Demonstrated lifesaving skills? Nominate your favorite vet for the North American Pet Health Insurance Association award. Or, tell about how pet health insurance helped you and your pet. Entries for both are due by September 30.
