Just what does it take to become a veterinarian? What are the pre-requisities for admission to an accredited University? How to prepare in High School? How to prepare as a College Undergraduate?

Hi,
I visited your website today http://happyfishschool.com/aspiring-to-be-a-vet/ and found that you were linking back to and mentioning our previous website, ichabodink.com. The link is now dead.
Our new website is now at vetsetgo.com – it’s still the same goals and visions we had with ichabodink but with better logos and business plans 🙂
I’d like to know if it’s possible to change the link so we won’t lead people to broken websites and 404s.
Cheers,
Zach Williams
