Dog bite facts:
◾Each year, more than 4.5 million people in the U.S. are bitten by dogs.
◾Almost 1 in 5 people bitten by dogs require medical attention.
◾Every year, more than 800,000 Americans receive medical attention for dog bites; at least half of them are children.
◾Children are, by far, the most common victims of dog bites and are far more likely to be severely injured.
◾Most dog bites affecting young children occur during everyday activities and while interacting with familiar dogs.
◾Senior citizens are the second most common dog bite victims.
There are many things you can do to avoid dog bites, ranging from properly training and socializing your pet to educating your children on how – or if – they should approach a dog. Information and education are the best solutions for this public health crisis. To learn more, go to: https://www.avma.org/public/Pages/Why-do-dogs-bite.aspx?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=socmed

Berks County’s Wyomissing History
2013
May
15
The original inhabitants of Wyomissing, in Berks County, were Indians from the Lenni Lenape tribe who lived along the banks of the Wyomissing Creek. The word Wyomissing is a phonetically derived the Indian name for the area whose exact meaning is unknown, but most likely means “a place of flats” which makes much sense considering how flat Wyomissing is compared to nearby surrounding areas. Much of Berks County was transfered from the Indians to William Penn in 1685. Title to the land that much of Wyomissing is built upon was in two parcels, an eastern tract and a western tract, which were divided by a northwesterly line in the vicinity of Lake Avenue. One of the earliest industries in the area was the Evans Grist Mill. This building still stands at the corner of Old Mill Road and Old Wyomissing Road.

Hey, I’m Cardigan! I’m a 6-year-old spayed female DSH brown and black tiger at the Berks ARL. I’ve been at the shelter since October and I’m getting very lonely here. I don’t want to spend my golden years by myself. I’m very sweet and affectionate. I love being petted, snuggling, and giving kisses. I’m looking for a steady companion to travel on the road of life with.

Golden Retrievers Needed For a Study
2013
May
6
Bernville Veterinary Clinic is pleased to announce our participation in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study sponsored by Morris Animal Foundation.
The study, which will follow 3000 goldens throughout their lives, is a groundbreaking project designed to learn more about risk factors for cancer and other problems that affect the breed, and to determine how to better prevent, diagnose and treat these diseases.
You’ll benefit many ways: the study pays for your dog’s annual blood, urine and fecal tests; you’ll learn preliminary findings before the final study report is published; and you’ll gain the satisfaction of helping to improve the health of golden retrievers.
If your purebred golden retriever is under two years of age, you may be eligible to participate. Visit www.CanineLifetimeHealth.org to learn more, and then call 610-488-0166 to make an appointment with Dr. Lee Pickett.
