The annual ZFest Top Dog contest will be on Saturday, March 27th, at 4 p.m. at the Zachary Youth Park.  Contest categories are all new this year, including a Best in Show.  Cane II of Raising Cane's Restaurant will be on hand for pawgraphs and will be our Celebrity Judge! Applications are available here at the Animal Center, or online at zacharyla.com.  Enter your precious pooch today for great prizes and lots of fun.
 
Obedience classes are held at the Animal Center during the week, taught by our lead technician Mindy Fleming.  The classes are divided into puppy and adult categories.  Class size is small so your pet can receive one-on-one instruction.  Mindy is also available for consultation most days of the week.  Call us for more information.

Dr. Lynn Buzhardt and friend, Dr. Sue Steib, have recently co-authored a book entitled Can We Have One? A Parent's Guide to Raising Kids with Cats and Dogs.  The book is available at Borders, our clinic, and on line at Amazon.com.  It is a great resource for families as they grow with pets and children.
