P
ets have weaved their way into our hearts and our
homes as critical members of the family. According to
Forbes, pet ownership and expenditures have been on
the rise since the Baby Boomer generation first started to
humanize pets, and the subsequent generations followed.
A report by the American Pet Products Association stated
that pet ownership hit 68 percent in 2016, up 54 percent
since 2009. The increase in pet ownership is also leading
to increased spending on veterinary care, rising from $4.9
billion in 1991 to $35 billion in 2015. With our pets being
so important to us, we continue to keep them healthy and
happy whatever way possible. Ensuring annual trips to the
vet is critical because although your pet my look and act
seemingly healthy, there may be underlying issues that need
to be addressed.
“As a family-owned business for three generations, North
Boros prioritizes the long-term relationship with each of
our clients and often finds that we serve families who have
been visiting our practice since our founding in the 1950s,”
says Dr. Ken Bollens. “That longevity is a unique trait and
something that we are very proud of. To us, relationships
with pets and their families are not simply a transaction but
something to be nurtured over time. We truly value caring for
each furry member of the family as if they were our own.”
