GOOD DOG INFORMATION ON THE WEB

These sites are recommended by Dr. Sue Haley of Kindness Animal Hospital and board member of Canine Guardians for Life, Inc.

There are thousands of websites which claim to provide information for animal companions to properly care for their non-human family members. And, as the saying goes, you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find the prince. This is true of websites as well. Dr. Haley weeds through lots of websites suggested by her clients and has chosen some great sites that are truly helpful. Keep them handy and pass them on.

http://www.veterinarypartner.com/  This is the public section of the veterinary information network (VIN) which is a veterinarian only website sharing cases and information. You can find out lots of info about your pet's health. This Dr. Sue's favorite site!

http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.jsp : The good old Merck manual has been around for 50 years. Has basic information on most species of farm and pet animals.

http://www.vetinfo.com/ This is the Ask a Vet site and there is a charge for your questions, which is not recommended. Your money would be better spent one on one with your veterinarian. However there are many good and free articles on the site.
