The Farmington Hills/Farmington Emergency Preparedness Commission (EPC) will present a free seminar on Preparing Your Pets for Emergencies at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 25 at the Costick Center, located at 28600 Eleven Mile Road.
Local veterinarian Christian Ast will discuss how pets have been affected in recent disasters and will provide preparedness tips on how to increase your pet’s chances for survival.
If you are like millions of pet owners nationwide, you consider your pet an important member of your household. The likelihood that you and your animals will survive an emergency such as a fire, flood or tornado depends largely on preparedness and emergency planning.

We need to hear from Veterinarians on topic of mosquito that can kill your dog and is plaguing us now in Michigan. Even with monthly protection what else can we do. One dog has already died from mosquito bite in Michigan and no one is doing article for pets on this issue

Thank you it is so needed. My dog loves the grass and I have concerns even with using preventatives. I heard one dog died from mosquito already and no one is addressing this yet
