Many of our veterans have served our country and arrive back home with post-war disabilities, anxiety, depression and PTSD, among other issues. It is not uncommon for veterans to have service dogs. We'll talk about these special
canines who help veterans get through their daily lives. Have you ever seen a cat roaming in your neighborhood with a tipped ear and wondered what it was all about? We'll let you know; it may surprise you. There are a host of medical issues that occur in dogs, and one includes bloat. If you don't know about bloat, it's something you should know because it can mean
life or death. All the informati
on is right here in this month's
Pet Tips and Treats newsletter, which is filled with valuable information. Remember to watch for our periodic special discount "treat" just for you and your pet to enjoy. Don't forget to share the love and send our newsletter to others who also cherish their pets.

How Service Dogs Help and Bring Hope to Veterans
The bond between service dog and veteran is immeasurable. Oftentimes, after arriving back home after serving, especially those returning from a war-torn area, a veteran may have physical impairments and/or emotional issues ranging from bad dreams and flashbacks to fear and depression. Many veterans have been able to bring a service dog into their life to help with the sometimes-crippling aftereffects of war.

Phoebe King, guest service attendant
Phoebe King grew up with all kinds of animals. Pets are a huge part of her life, which is why she loves working with the dogs and cats at Second Home. As a Guest Services Attendant she helps with arrivals and departures, room set-up, taking out the dogs, helps in daycare, and is in training with cats.
In August, Phoebe celebrated her one-year anniversary at Second Home. "I've grown attached to a lot of the rescues there," she said. "I take care of the dogs and cats at Second Home as if they were my own and then go home to my own," she said, adding that currently she has a horse, four turtles, three dogs, one cat, one rabbit and four koi fish.
At Second Home, Phoebe especially enjoys the activities and interaction with all the pets, especially the personal time and getting to know the dogs and cats.
If there is anything people should know about Second Home it's "the people who work there and what they do; they do it from their heart," Phoebe said. "They love the animals as if they were their own. Anyone who walks into Second Home, we treat them like family."
