tick preventatives give other big box pharmacies a real run for their money! (Hard to imagine why not — it must be difficult to run in big boxes.) Speaking of fleas, did you know that buying flea and worm medication directly from your vet often comes with a guarantee? If your cat or dog gets fleas after using their product, they will get rid of those fleas at no cost to you. The same applies for intestinal medications and heartworms. You can show you purchased your medications or preventatives through us, and the manufacturer will help offset the costs of your pet’s
treatment. However, you will have to purchase through our online pharmacy to take advantage of these guarantees (which may not apply to all products and brands). The best part of buying preventatives and pet food through our online pharmacy? You can set up automatic deliveries so you don’t even have to remember checking out your purchase every single month. Buying local will save you both time and money, but it’ll also support our family of hard workers at the hospital. Extra funds from our pharmacy help provide our team with training and education as well as allow us to purchase additional technology to aid our day-to-day services. And, hey, having food delivered to our door has been fun for me, too — it gives my owners a lot more time and funds to grab me some treats or toys! Again, you will have to purchase through our online pharmacy or from us directly to take advantage of these guarantees. Thanks so much for reading, and I’ll catch you next time!
Ghosts Across America
3 Haunted Spots Every Ghost Believer Will Love
October is one of the best months for travel in the U.S. With mild temperatures and gorgeous, colorful leaves everywhere, there’s no better time for a cross- country road trip. Add some Halloween flair to your October vacation with these three ghostly attractions. Visit the most haunted town in the U.S. —Waynesville, Ohio. Sure, New Orleans may have a spooky past, but it doesn’t compare to Waynesville. Many residents and visitors think this Ohio town is rife with ghosts. You may hear cries to “hurry up” at The Hammel House Inn, where many tunnels for the underground railroad came through, or you could see the apparition of a businessman from the 1800s who “never checked out.”Other sources report hauntings at the town’s historical society, Museum at the Friends Home, including a little girl who moves toys and sits on the porch. The society leans into the local fascination and hosts regular walking ghost tours and ghost hunting classes. Stay a while at Hotel MonteVista in Flagstaff, Arizona. Guests at Hotel Monte Vista have often enjoyed long stays at the downtown Flagstaff, Arizona, hotel, but not everyone leaves. Constructed in 1927, the hotel is host to a number of reported ghosts. The most well-known is an elderly woman who would spend hours rocking in the chair in her room. Today, her chair can be found moving on its own. Another popular visitor is the ghost of a bellboy who knocks on doors and announces that room service has arrived — only, no one’s there. Is there a monster in Pine Barrens, New Jersey? This one’s for those who love mysterious creatures. Pine Barrens is a mass of forested land that spreads across seven counties in New Jersey — and its most famous resident isn’t human. The Jersey Devil has a long, storied history and is said to be a combination of many animals: Its body is shaped like a kangaroo with wings. It has the head of a dog but the face of a horse. The creature is believed to have had a sickly start to life in 1735 and has stayed to haunt the forest’s inhabitants and even those who visit the area today.
Fall is harvest season, and with this recipe, even your loyal mutt can partake in some of its greatest flavors.
