After a long winter in the dry desert that is Las Vegas, spring is finally around the corner. That’s good news for us… and good news for our pets—or should I say, our four-legged family members. 

People get out more and they take Fido, or Kevin or whatever their dog is named with them.  

So it’s great to get out more. But maybe you have a dog that goes nuts around other dogs? Or worse yet, have you ever tried to walk a cat?
