We know that our clients use the Internet to find information about their pets. We want to help you so that you can be sure the information you read is accurate and credible. Remember, anyone can put something on the Internet; we don’t want you to take the advice of a group or individual that might not be good for your beloved pet. So, we’ve put together this list of websites that we know and trust. Please let us know whenever you have questions about your pet’s health. We’re here to help you and enjoy educating our clients.
