6 IMPORTANT TOLL FREE NUMBERS EVERY PET OWNER SHOULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT
Many times in life, help is so near that we often forget where to
find it. It is so near and sometimes free that we just don't remember
where we left such vital information. We even have an information
overload yet we seem to forget where to find simple information when
needed. The internet is not helping either, with every website hoping
to lure you with cool features that majority of them have an "online
Veterinarian on staff" but still you can't talk to a real person who
will understand your problem and help your need. That is the case of
many of us who are pet owners. We know our vets and his emergency
number and that is it. Should there be a disaster, loss of Fido to an
accident, rare poison that your local vet and you do not know about,
and recovery of a stolen or lost pet back home. Well, I really don't
know someone once told me. Help to me is still with a simple phone
call, an old box invented by Mr. Bell. I have pulled together from my
e-book of pet resources and helpful phone numbers these 6 important
toll free numbers every pet owner should have on their fridge at
home. A blue print of vital information when you need one. Free help
to solving landlord-tenant issues, vet problems, neglect and any form
of abuse, where to call for emotional support for those who have lost
an animal friend or are anticipating the loss of their pet, even
where to spay your pet for little to nothing. Your vet is great but
it doesn't hurt to save some money. These toll numbers are not only
