September 28 is World Rabies Day, which means it’s the perfect time to discuss the importance of vaccinating puppies against rabies and other life-threatening diseases.

The human gestation period spans approximately nine months, giving us ample time to prepare for a little bundle of joy.

The Routine was discovered by the U.S. military during wartime and was instituted into our own military canine training program.
