They can participate in one or both sessions.

The Ellwood and Chippewa Animal Hospitals and Cranberry Holistic Pet Care offer medical, dental and surgical care for companion animals, along with acupuncture, chiropractic, physical therapy and regenerative medicine. For more information, call 724-758-8882.
