American Kennel Club announces launch of the AKC Responsible Dog Owner Pet Promise

Bringing the message of AKC® Responsible Dog Ownership Day to life, the American Kennel Club® today announced the launch of the AKC Responsible Dog Owner Pet Promise. This 10-step oath is a reminder to both novice and veteran dog owners that raising a healthy dog is about more than just playtime and pampering. Training, grooming, exercise and veterinary care are equally important in nurturing your best friend.

The AKC has petitioned all dog owners to review the AKC Responsible Dog Owner Pet Promise and sign it electronically at Gopetition.com.
