When pigs fly! 
Not since Wilbur won the state fair has the pet pig been so popular! In fact, National Pig Day, celebrated on March 1st, recognized pet pigs as intelligent, clean and friendly pets. PSI member Sue Polen experienced the pitter-patter of piggy paws in her home and shares this heart-warming "pig-tail" about her pet pig, Shanna.

Don't be blown away by a natural disaster!

Tragically, April & May have been recorded as having produced the most frequent and deadly tornadoes in U.S. history. While Mother Nature doesn't keep a calendar, a natural catastrophe can happen any time of the year. Such disasters can leave you unsuspecting and ill-equipped to care for your pets. Don't rely on the weatherman--rely on the facts! Check out our disaster preparedness brochures at the PSI Store.
