Mê Thú Cưng
Our Vet visits multiple times during
the year to update our pet’s vaccines
and other shots and once a year for
our pet’s annual check-up including
teeth and gum examination. From time
to time there may be an emergency
and we have a van and driver that will
transport our pets to and from the
Doctor’s Clinic.
We never leave our pets for more than
a few hours a day. We always take our
pets with us on holidays and business
trips unless one of us is staying at
home. We feel that people who go
away on vacations, however brief, or
travel back to their countries leaving
their pets with strangers (strangers to
the pet) under the guise that they will

pet parent material.

business trip to China coming up

beginning August 6th 2014. This year
we will all go to China. My wife, our pets
and I will travel together. Is this process
difficult and costly? Absolutely!! But, it
goes with the territory and we will all
be together as a family!! This will be
the sixth major trip we have all made
together in the past 5 years. This, we
believe this is being a responsible and
committed pet parent. The problem is
that people are to busy making excuses
as to why their pets cannot accompany
them when they travel rather being
busy finding ways for the pets to travel
with them.
Do you treat our dogs and cat as
buddies?
No!! We treat them the same as we
would our children. Think of this way;
we never bathe our human buddies or
friends, never clip their nails, play fetch
with them, cuddle them on the bed, let

them sleep on our bed etc. But!! We do
all this and more for both our children
and our pets. Plus, friends and buddies,
depending on how badly you have
