Newberg Veterinary Hospital would like to share these Dog & Puppy Training Guides with you. They contain important information on how best to prepare and take care of your new family addition. You may not have a puppy now, but if you know anyone who is considering adopting one, please pass this on to him or her.
Welcome to Kids' Corner!
Kids and pets go together like dogs and bones, like cats and balls of string. That’s because both children and animals are fun-loving, innocent, and endlessly curious. To satisfy some of that curiosity, we’ve compiled a list of links to websites that give kids the chance to explore their love of animals in exciting and new ways.
Check them out below!
