Affordable Pet Health Options Have Not Gone to the Dogs in This Bad Economy

The economy is not only playing havoc with the lives of human beings, but with domesticated animals -- especially dogs and cats -- as well. Luv My Pet, a company that has been meeting the needs of these furry critters since 1976, is helping their owners get through the current financial crisis.

Fountain Valley, CA (PRWEB) August 23, 2008 -- In an effort to ensure all pet owners can give their cats and dogs proper health care at affordable prices, a company dedicated to providing sensibly-priced pet vaccination clinics has set up shop in PETCO stores in 23 states to provide weekend immunization service.

Luv My Pet, a PETCO partner, offers vaccination clinics operated by state-licensed veterinarians for dogs and cats eight weeks or older. Pet owners can choose value packages for $49 or less that include all the core vaccines aimed at immunizing pets against major diseases.

"We don't want people to lose any four-legged member of their family," says Scott Chaness, CEO of Luv My Pet, Inc., a PETCO partner and the nation's largest provider of affordable pet vaccination clinics. "Luv My Pet is a reasonably priced option that will help ease the costs of pet ownership."

In every state, rabies vaccines are mandated by law and a host of vaccines and preventative medications are recommended to keep pets healthy. "Maintaining this regimen, especially for multiple pets, can add up to a hefty bill. Yet proactively preventing diseases with these annual vaccinations is necessary to actually keep costs down, in the long run," says Luv My Pet's Medical Director, Dr. Frances Vaujin, DVM. "Our commitment is to provide affordable health services without sacrificing the high quality of care that these animals and their families deserve."

Other preventative pet health medications, heartworm products, flea treatments, diagnostic testing, and pet microchipping are crucial to keeping pets healthy, comfortable, and safe. Luv My Pet also provides low-cost options covering a range of these products and services - and will match any price on pet medications. Jennifer Raiman, of St. Augustine, Florida, said "Luv My Pet has been such a help. Besides the good deals on annual vaccinations, I was able to purchase heartworm products at prices that were considerably lower than what was offered at our vet's office."

For more information on Luv My Pet's services/products, prices, and schedule of clinics nationwide, view the website at: http://www.luvmypet.com

Founded in 1976, Luv My Pet is the nation's largest provider of affordable pet vaccination clinics in local PETCO stores and clinics in 23 states. Specializing in dog and cat vaccines, Luv My Pet's state-licensed veterinarians serviced 320,000 pets and administered 770,000 vaccinations last year, in accordance with all state and local regulations. Luv My Pet's specialized focus on providing vaccinations and its partnership with PETCO are what enable them to provide these services at lower prices to consumers.

300K Membership Milestone Proves There is No Nursing Shortage at allnurses.com

Nurses gather in masses at allnurses.com - The largest social network for nurses, hits new milestone of 300,000 registered members.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) August 23, 2008 -- Where have all the nurses gone? Ask Brian Short, RN, and he'll tell you that as of August 20, 2008, more than 300,000 of his colleagues have found their way to allnurses.com (AN), the largest and most comprehensive nursing website in the world.

Started as a hobby in 1996 when Short was in nursing school, AN has grown into an internationally respected education, career and social networking resource with more than eight million page views and 800,000 unique visitors every month.

What's the driving force behind this kind of traffic? Nurses hungry for connection and support. "We care for others, but who cares for us?" one member asks. At a time when too many highly-qualified nurses find themselves struggling to stay ahead of job stress and burnout, allnurses.com provides an oasis of encouragement, humor and friendship, along with a wealth of nursing knowledge.

Participants range from young (and not-so-young) people considering health care careers to nursing students in the academic trenches to seasoned floor nurses and managers to advanced practice nurses with post-graduate degrees. Members represent every state and more than thirty countries on six continents.

What do all these nurses and nurses-to-be have in common? A desire to make life better for themselves and others. That aim might include pursuing additional education, checking out the latest and greatest in medical equipment, looking for a better job, or even something as simple as finding a decent pair of shoes.

With free access to more than 200 specialty forums and twelve years' worth of searchable archived posts, allnurses.com has become the go-to research and networking resource for many. "Whenever I have a question or dilemma, I come to allnurses.com first," one member says. "Within a few hours I can get dozens of replies from people who know exactly what I'm talking about."

Short and a small volunteer staff do their best to keep the site user-friendly and flame-free. With a congenial atmosphere that invites participation, especially from those new to nursing or the 'net, AN's membership roster continues to grow by the thousands. That doesn't even count the "lurkers"--visitors who read messages without signing up or making posts themselves. A conservative estimate has such guests outnumbering registered members at a ratio of six to one. Given those statistics, allnurses.com has a "viewership" that rivals the circulation stats of even the largest hard copy nursing magazines.

Short finds such a tremendous response extremely gratifying. "It's wonderful to offer my peers and colleagues a place where they can come to network with other nurses and have some fun in the process."
