The internet is a wonderful place, but clients go into veterinary clinics every day with new and interesting things they have found on the Web. From diagnosing their own pet’s problem to purchasing items deemed to cure all, we are bombarded with literally thousands of websites and advertisements that profess to know what is best.

Taking the time to research 'who' is really behind a website (and the credentials that make that person a bona fide specialist) is a must for everyone.

Besides Veterinary Partner, how can you choose information sources carefully? Ask your veterinarian for website information that that they trust. Let them be your resource and an informed sounding board.

Other good websites that that you may not know about and have minimal advertising or sponsorship include:

The American Veterinary Medical Association – public section

The education section of ASPCA
