Search and Rescue Dogs of 9/11
September 11, 2001.
We all remember where we were when we heard the news of the events of this terrible day.
13 years later, we all remember what happened, and how it changed our world forever.
We have heard many stories of the heroism of first responders, the military, and civilians alike.
This video shows the dedication, bravery, and heroism of those who might not get the accolades they certainly deserve - the Canine Search and Rescue teams.
This video will make you sad. It will make you happy, It will make you proud. It will definitely make you cry.
It will also make you appreciate your own dogs a little more, and all dogs for what they are capable of.
911 - Never forget

Dogs can become stressed by many things they are not adequately desensitized too when they are puppies, they can develop fears and anxieties with repeated negative exposure to stressful situations.
At Royal City Animal Hospital, we see many dogs who come in for behaviour issues, which can be attributed to their Stress and how it was handled.
For More information on your Dog's mental, and emotional well being - please discuss stress with your Veterinarian. There are many treatment options to help reduce anxiety and stress, and many are all-natural and not pharmaceutical.

Cats feel stress on a much higher plane than humans do, and as such - it doesn't take a lot to add to your cat's anxiety.
Many negative behaviours Cat owners worry about, and discuss with their Veterinarians are caused by Stress.
At Royal City Animal Hospital, we see many skin disorders, scratching behaviours, elimination problems, and vocalisation issues (to name a few) that are directly caused by stress.
