23 Hilarious Stories About Taking Your Dog To The Vet!

Dear readers,

A few days ago we ran a roundup about taking your cat to the vet! While you all agreed that this is an important reminder for pet owners everywhere, many of you wanted to remind us that every dog has their day, too, so we should run a similarly-themed canine equivalent!

Also, yesterday was International Dog Day! So, to make up for missing it and to remind you to take man’s best friend to the vet, here are 23 hilarious stories from our archives about dumb dog owners that both vets and dogs have to put up with.
