LEARN HOW STRESS AFFECTS YOUR DOG AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT! Join us as Dr. Harris gives a presentation about how your dog's health and behavior can be affected by stress, and how you can "immunize" your pet against the adverse effects of chronic stress.

During his 33 years in his own general practice, Dr. Harris trained a dozen young doctors, wrote hundreds of articles, and investigated the many links between behavior, lifestyle and health. He is currently doing housecall practice in SD county focusing on behavior problems and medical problems and the interaction between them. You are invited to call or email him to ask questions about your pet!
