I know. . . you're still young and might not have too many health concerns as of yet but, believe it or not, the day will come when you'll need this kind of information so here it is. We have listed places you can contact when the day comes that you do require a doctor of some sort. We've even included people to contact when you're dog gets sick!
The information should be fairly up-to-date as of August 1999, however, we are only human so don't be upset if you call the doctor's office to make an appointment and you get Romeo's Pizza Palace. We hope you will find this information useful.
