Sheri's puppies recently visited VetShopOnline's headquarters for their first lot of shots and their microchipping. Dr Mark and the staff had fun with the eight pups while they visited. We were all able to give them a farewell kiss and cuddle. Above is "East Aussie Trail Blazer".

The dog swam five nautical miles to St Bees Island, where she survived until last week by hunting baby goats.
Lucy is a female Tonkinese belonging to a friend of mine, Pauline. Pauline couldn't figure out how Lucy and Monster Cat kept escaping after being closed in the house at night, so she decided to set up her video camera to spy on them. This is the result.
Although we are focusing a lot on dogs and cats in our products and services, reptiles remain one of our top priorities. In 2007 alone, Reptiles were estimated around 13% of household pets ownership.

VetShopOnline is constantly on the look out for VetShoppers who are out there making a difference in society and the community. I am pleased to announce that we have spotted one. Recently we interviewed Deborah Albert, long time VetShopOnline customer, as our first VetShopper.
Deborah is a surgeon from Florida with a passion for animals. She is an outgoing,
adventurous person, who loves her pets. At home, Deborah has nine adopted animals plus an elaborate salt water fish aquarium. In her spare time, she volunteers at the Big Cat Animal Sanctuary. She has been shopping with VetShopOnline for a number of years.This interview resonates with our concern about pets being hit hard by the rough economy. Shelters across the United States are experiencing higher intake rates than normal.
We wanted a charity which allowed us to combine our love of animals with our desire to help those less fortunate than ourselves.
One of our team suggested the Smiles Program from World Vision.
Recently we held a small staff Christmas party at the office. Actually, it is the second VetShopOnline Christmas party that we had in a week! The first one, we invited all family members of the staff and retreated into the country side for the day.
Jennifer Love Hewitt and Adam Sandler may think their pooches Mona and Matzoball are "hot dogs" being on the sets of their latest movies they are filming but we think that our pets are the real stars.

There are just six teachers to teach over 125 kids (including over 35 boarding students) in very basic classrooms. Children share text books and some of the class rooms don't even have electricity! The pre-school room is a shady area under a Frangipani Tree!
Dutch animal lovers on Tuesday (September 30) launched a national campaign to establish a public TV channel for animals and their owners. The group are hoping to gather enough support to establish a public TV channel which will screen programs that animals will enjoy.
I suppose if the pets do start spending too many hours a day, sitting on the couch, watching Oprah, wildlife docos and pet food ads, maybe Dr Phil will do a show on how they can take control of their TV watching time!
