Oppose CA legislation on a 9% tax on all veterinary services!
Feb 13th, 2009 Posted in Current Events | no comment »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, who’s 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 and an additional 9% will discourage many from giving their pet care.
If you oppose this tax on all veterinary services, the following information is for you. It only takes a few seconds, pushing some telephone buttons -

Please call the governor’s office and make it known that balancing the budget at the expense of our pets’ health is not acceptable!!!
