With medical expenses soaring, especially those associated with hospitalization, it is essential to utilize all available resources in an effort to reduce or minimize additional re-hospitalization costs.

Flyball is great family entertainment and fun – just ask Cindy McLean, UAW Benefit Coordinator for General Motors, who has competed in tournaments with her team of dogs for 32 years.

The dog must press a spring-loaded pad, catch the tennis ball and bring it back to its handler. According to Cindy, any dog can play flyball, but high-energy breeds such as border collies and whippets seem to excel in the sport.
