 815, I'm John Aaron. I'm Michelle Bash. The recent death of a dog at a Northern Virginia PetSmart boarding facility has raised concerns about what to do with your furry friends when you need to go away. WTOP's Sandra Jones has some tips. Have regular veterinary care. Make sure that your pet is up to date on all vaccinations. Dr. Peter Eag is owner of Poole Veterinary Clinic in Maryland. He says ask the boarding facility what vaccinations they require. If they don't require any, that's a red flag. Don't go there.
