Pet Medication and Care Resources

The following links are provided as a resource for our customers and others researching pet conditions, care, and other related information. We are continually reviewing information and products in the pet care and veterinary industries and hope you may find them valuable. In addition to commercial websites, sources include many of the leading industry associations and academic institutions focused on pets, pet care and health, and veterinary research and products.  Although we may include links with a broad focus, most are oriented toward dog, cat, or horse care subjects. If you are aware of any pet care resources that you believe would add value, please forward them to us for possible inclusion. Please note that we do not make any claims as to the accuracy, validity, or completeness of any information here, throughout this site, or on any sites accessed through this site. We strongly urge you to seek the advise of a local licensed veterinarian for any medical advise or important information, including making medical related decisions.
