Pet briefs (March 14)

Skaer Veterinary Clinic, 404 S. Edgemoor, will hold a free seminar Saturday on storm phobia in pets.

Veterinarian Janet Arnet will discuss factors that can send a pet into “anxiety mode” and how owners can bring relief to them during thunderstorm season. The session will include information on drug therapy as well as natural ways to help manage a pet’s anxiety during a storm.

The discussion, which starts at 1:15 p.m., is free, but registration is requested. To register or for more information, call 316-683-4641, e-mail questions@skaervet.com or register at the front desk.
