CATS & DOGS is a new 26-part series that explores the human/animal bond in all its aspects.

In addition to these segments on pet heath care -- prevention, detection and treatment -- Dr. Migday offers valuable do-it-yourself tips on at-home care with particular emphasis on grooming, obedience training and nutrition.

Packaged in a lively magazine format, the series is made up of regular "departments," including: Clinic Visits; Ask the Vet; Features; Pet Tips; Breed of the Week and Do-It-Yourself.
