No newbies here!"), that it "offer[s] the original Immediate Release Pet Rabies Quarantine Liaison service. We were the first practice to do this," and that "We were the first practice to do this and can make it stress free to bring your pet to the state!" Dr. Demian Dressler states he "graduated from Cornell Veterinary School in 1997" and "helped my mother start Pacific Primate Sanctuary in the '80's."
