Would you walk up to a stranger in the dog park and ask for information about your pet? Not likely. Searching the Internet randomly for pet advice is like that. Just because it’s online doesn’t make it true.

So how do you find good information? By using trusted websites. Our website has lots of information. Other trusted places include veterinary school websites or the AKC (American Kennel Club) website.

Being a breeder or having a lot of dogs does not make someone an expert, just as having a lot of children doesn’t make someone a pediatrician or a nutritionist.

Here are some websites you can trust:

https://www.akc.org (American Kennel Club)

https://www.avma.org/public/PetCare/Pages/default.aspx American Veterinary Medical Association

https://www2.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics (Cornell Veterinary Hospital’s cat information website)

https://indoorpet.osu.edu The Ohio State’s information about keeping indoor pets happy and healthy

So if the web site tells you to take your pet out under a full moon, wash him in apple cider vinegar, then feed him coconut oil, PLEASE ask us first.
