A lot of senior citizens have only their pets for company. Because of high veterinary prices, however, many have been forced to give up their pets (or not get one at all).

I have an idea, even a plea, for local veterinarians: Why can’t they have a senior citizens’ discount or some other sort of price break?

Maybe we need a dog and cat clinic in the Augusta area for senior citizens only. I bet we could keep them busy.
