Gov. Dayton: No Additional Taxes on Veterinary Services

MN. Governor Dayton: No Additional Taxes on Veterinarian Services.

Why is this important?

Simply put, please do not add taxes onto MN. Veterinary services. Currently the average cost of veterinary is, many times, out of financial reach for many middle and lower income families. The burden then falls upon the family pet and it's health or wellbeing. Being able to afford spay or neuter results in less abandoned animals at pounds and shelters and consequently less deaths. Being able to afford vaccinations or surgeries or tests needed save lives. Veterinarian offices depend upon the public continuing to seek services in order to support staff and purchasing and paying off equipment that is also needed.
