No veterinary tax in California, please. CA wants to legislate a 9% tax on all veterinary services, including meds. This is really reprehensible at a time when so much is being done to heighten awareness regarding caring for animals. Veterinarians, whose training and licensing is as rigorous as that of MDs will now have their care taxed as though they were dispensing canned goods. And the cost of surgeries, neutering, etc. is high-an additional 9% will discourage many from giving their pet care.

Please call the governors's office and make it known that balancing the budget at the expense of our pets' health is not acceptable!!! It only takes about 20 seconds because it's all automated. Call 916-445-2841. Then please press 1 - 5 - 1 - 2 .

Press 1 for English. Press 5 for the veterinary tax proposal. It will ask you to press 1 if you're calling about the veterinary tax proposal, so press 1. Then press 2 to oppose the tax.

Seriously, this is no good :[ I already know some people who choose to withold on veterinary care services because of the price; raising taxes on it will only aggravate the issue. It really only takes a couple of seconds to do and you don't even have to talk to a person, so please, call in.
