Description:'Women breeders, pet-shop and “dog-parlor” owners, and canine nurses all participated in the emerging economy of canine care... Nor was this economy exclusively the preserve of women. The veterinarian W. Hamilton Kirk, for example, founded a “sanatorium” for dogs at Ruislip around the time Collins founded her institute. Advertised as a “country home for your dogs and cats in sickness or in health,” the sanatorium provided leisure facilities and health-giving diets as well as the latest in canine surgery such as the fitting of artificial eyes. [note: '“Ruislip Dog Sanatorium,” Our Dogs, no. 44 (1 February 1918): 93; “Sanatorium for Canine Patients: Artificial Eyes for Pet Dogs,” Perth Western Mail, 15 August 1913, 24. On canine surgery at this time, see Andrew Gardiner, “The Animal as Surgical Patient: A Historical Perspective in the 20th Century,” in “Animals and Surgery,” special issue, History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences 31, nos. 3–4 (January 2009): 355–76, at 361–64.']' (303-304)
