About the Euthanasia Topic...
Dr. Dunn, While recently surfing the web for information on euthanasia, I came upon the subject article. I must commend you on presenting such an excellent piece. I certainly could have used such a comprehensive explanation two years ago. As a professional pet sitter, multi-pet owner, and someone active in the animal welfare community, I will be requesting reprints. Thank you. M. W. New Orleans	Dr. Dunn, Wow. That euthanasia article covers everything. I am most definitely going to add all three of those links to my page (or at least say in the description to go and link to A Letter from Annie and Do pets grieve.. ). I saw at the bottom that you allow reprints - is it OK to just print it off from my clinic (ensuring that the URL is on it and recognition for the author)? You seem to be a great Doctor to work for - I hope your staff feels the same (that is if you still work in a clinic setting) Thanks Kelly	Dr. Dunn: I recently had to put my 14-year old cat to sleep. It was a very traumatic experience for both my family and myself. The reason I am emailing is to thank you and your staff for creating a section on euthanasia at your website, ThePetCenter.com. Reading your page explaining the process helped to relieve the tension that was building up to the day I had to go to the vet. Again, thank you for your help. J. S.

From veterinarians, students, and veterinary technicians:
Dr. Dunn, The Pet Center is an amazing web site. The amount of information available is more than I imagined. I like the progression from the waiting room into the exam room, etc. I would definitely recommend your site to clients, if you don't mind? Thank you, M. D., Veterinarian	Hi there, I have seen many, many veterinary related sites and yours in fantastic for teaching people what we do (I'm a Veterinary Technician). It is very well organized and full of valuable information. K. A.	I would love to see more quizzes! I just happened upon your website while looking up some veterinary terms, and I loved your site! I'm a junior at Cornell University, pre-vet, and worked in the wards at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston this summer. Thanks for the education! Sincerely, T. C.

From Ask The Vet responses...
Hello, Thank you for responding so quickly to my Ask The Vet question. Have a sparkling day! Candy. Thank you for your very prompt response! Both my daughter and I will let our friends and family members know about your great service! Thanks again! S. C.	Thank you SO MUCH. My mum just got off the phone to the vets, and they have confirmed that what you suggested we do was exactly right. I am SO GRATEFUL for your help!!!!!! Thank you. I have contacted over 30 different kennels, vets and so-called experts, and they all came back blank. Thank you. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't contacted the Ask The Vet!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! G.G.	Thank You for your reply and information on this reverse sneezing. I have had Peanut to the vet this morning and he is doing better today. I really appreciate the info you sent and how prompt you replied. I will tell all my friends about your site. Thank You so much, My pets and me!

From pet owners...
Your article on overweight dogs has been a lifesaver for me. The anecdote on the deleterious effect of the insulin "charging" mechanics of a high carbohydrate diet and the lack of impact of spaying relative to weight gain (as previously I had thought the case might be) have been most enlightening. Thank you very much. D. T.	Thank you so VERY much! I will pass on your website to my friends... Have a great day! Vicki PS - So far the kitty is responding well to the treatment administered by the Veterinarian. V. G.	The information about neutering/spaying with pictures and description was very helpful. Thank you for a very important resource. K. M.
BACK to the WAITING ROOM, please.
