Health firms bark up right tree for families with fur babies

Shanghai resident Demi Jiang quit her full-time job more than three years ago to work as a public relations freelancer, partly because she wanted to devote more time and care to her dog, a Miniature Pinscher.

The dog has been a good companion for her since 2008, and at that time had developed some chronic health conditions requiring medical treatments from regular examinations to medications and surgeries.

Before that, she had always taken the dog to veterinary specialists regularly for vaccinations and deworming.
