Donna Jenkins is pioneering a movement to allow visitation of patient’s personal pets during long-term treatment. She formed Zachary’s Paw For Healing after her son passed from a terminal disease. During his final hours he requested a visit from the family pet but didn’t want to sneak the dog into the cancer treatment facility.Also, did you get a pet for the holiday? Dr. Marty Becker is back with tips that every new puppy or kitten owner should know. These tips could save you a lot of grief. Also, former NFL quarterback Michael Vick got the celebrity treatment as he visited the Pennsylvania state Capitol last week to lobby for a bill to help protect cats and dogs from being left in unattended vehicles. Vick was a star quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons when he plead guilty to federal conspiracy charges in 2007 for his role in a dog fighting ring and served nearly two years in prison. He claims to have been reformed and spoke on behalf of animals saying, “The bottom line is that all animals thrive (on) kindness and respect. They depend on us like our children depend on us.” Also, two years ago, in a first of its kind crash test, the leading pet harnesses, which were trusted by owners, failed again and again.

Really, the answer is No. The Director at the Center for Pet Safety says they “do not recommend pet seats at this time for pet owners” to use for their pets in cars.
