Welcome!

Thank you for visiting the new BLOG page of the Family Pet Hospital (of Spanish Fork, Inc.). Why "Spanish Fork" when we are located in Mapleton? Well, our official name as registered with the State of Utah is "Family Pet Hospital of Spanish Fork, Inc." This was to distinguish us from the Payson Family Pet Hospital when we officially became independent from them as a distinct entity. When we moved to the new hospital in Mapleton, we did not want to go through the headache and cost of resubmitting all sorts of paperwork and have simply truncated the DBA (doing business as...) name to just Family Pet Hospital.

Why a BLOG page?
We have a website that has great articles on various pet care topics, but nowhere to add our own timely articles or commentary on current issues, such as the recent pet food scare, disease outbreaks, or other important information, or even just a place for my philosophizing. With increasing costs for printing and postage, and the delays they take outdating information rapidly, I felt this would be the most efficient method of presenting you with a newsletter. I want it to be informal and relaxed. I hope to get some helpful feedback from you about our services and philosophies. I will try to keep this updated as best as I can. Check the archives list for topics that you may have missed.

Again, thank you and welcome.
