The Arizona Animal Wellness Center is hosting a free community “If This Dog Could Talk” event in partnership with Merck Animal Health. Their team of veterinarians, along with renowned photographer Elias Weiss Friedman, creator of the photo-documentary series The Dogist, will be on hand to raise awareness of the dog flu and emphasize the importance of speaking with your veterinarian about your dog’s lifestyle-associated risk factors. At this free event, community members and their dogs can connect with other pet owners in the area and enjoy the following: • Access to tips/advice from The Arizona Wellness Center’s team of veterinarians regarding how to keep your dog healthy (including insight into the important role the dog flu vaccine plays in keeping your pet healthy). • Photos with Elias Weiss Freidman, creator of renowned photo-documentary series The Dogist, and a chance for your pup to be featured in his new e-book. • Healthy treats at the Doggie Bone Bar as well as a “doggy bag” full of treats for your pup as well as important pup health and wellness information. If you can't attend you can still participate by posting a pic of your pup on Twitter with the #IfThisDogCouldTalk hashtag. Be sure to also tag @MerckAH
