Abbott "Pete" Smith, D.V.M.
June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010
Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017). A graduate of Colorado State University and a well-known veterinarian in southeast Ohio, Dr. Smith continues to motivate and inspire.
Taking care of our pets is an intentional process. Vaccines and well-check visits should never be postponed. Even with COVID19, we care enough for our pets to walk them to the vet's office door, hand our pet over to the vet tech, and know our pet is receiving optimum care as we wait outside.
The Athens Messenger (Athens, Ohio) published the following article, quoting Dr. Smith about routine vet checks. The article was published on December 6, 2009. Dr. Smith, when asked if a bad economy resulted in a decline in routine vet visits, responded, "Our clients seem to be attached to their pets and are continuing with routine pet care even with the bad economy."
As Sara Brumfield, journalist, writes, "... veterinarians are warning pet owners that scrimping on routine checkups and immunizations for their furry friends could wind up costing more in the long run."
Have a great week ahead.
