The internet is a tremendous resource for the inquiring pet owner, but it is important to utilize sites that have accurate, up-to-date information. I have reviewed these sites, but have not read them in their entirety. If you have questions about a topic you find, or something seems out of line, please contact me. Likewise, if you find a super-cool site that you think other pet owners would enjoy, let me know and we’ll add it to the list!! Here are some pet health sites to surf: www.apcc.aspca.org — National Animal Poison Control Center. Founded in 1978, the NAPCC has veterinarians on duty 24/7 to provide the latest information about poisons, drugs, and antidotes in the event of an accidental poisoning. There is a one-time consultation fee of $50 for each event, which includes the initial call, consultation with your veterinarian, and follow-up consultations. You can order a free refrigerator magnet on-line so you have their number handy when you need it. www.y2spay.com — This site provides factual information about pet overpopulation, and details the health benefits of spaying and neutering. www.veterinarypartner.com — Published by the Veterinary Information Network, this site has scores of informative articles about pet health and behavior. www.cfa.org/caring.html — Published by the Cat Fancier's Association, this site has topics of interest to the cat owner, including a list of recommended books.
