It's the leading cause of death among dogs and cats, but you'll never see it on the six o'clock news. Don't expect to read about it either-not even in magazines for pet lovers.

It causes over 90% of companion animal deaths in the United States. The dog hit by a car was killed by it. The "indoor-outdoor" cat that caught feline leukemia was caught by it. Every stray facing euthanasia in every animal shelter in the country will die of it.
