There is a minimum donation of $10 per card, with proceeds going to veterinary-medicine research.
"As a veterinarian, the most poignant part of my work is reaching the end of one of my patient's lives," says Robin Downing, DVM with Windsor Veterinary Clinic, Windsor, Colo. "These donated dollars ... ultimately may help my patients live longer and better."
