Our Faves!

When Pender’s veterinarians and specialists aren’t on call, they’re reading, searching for and learning about the latest developments in veterinary science and animal care. Most of Pender’s staff have pets of their own, and can relate to the challenges and questions you may face as a pet owner. Browse through a selection of helpful links and recommendations from Pender’s veterinarians and check back often, as we’re constantly coming across helpful resources that’ll benefit both you and your pets.
