NORFOLK, Va. - Pet adoption rates have soared across the country during the pandemic.
According to a survey from Mars Petcare released in November, 30% percent of pet owners got a new pet at some point over the past year.
Since February is Responsible Pet Owners Month, the Animal Health Institute wants to make sure all those pets are being properly cared for.

Veterinarian Dr. Will McCauley says pet owners should still be visiting the vet at least once a year.
