Pet Owner Resources
It's inevitable that pet owners will turn to "Dr. Google" when they have concerns about their own pets (I've been guilty of it in the past myself), so I wanted to come up with a list of trusted, credible resources to make sure pet owners are finding the most relevant, factual information.
Dental Products
The VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) has a great list of approved products for dog and cat oral health! Some of my personal favorites include OraVet dental chews, Greenies dental chews, and Healthy Mouth toothpaste, tooth brush, and water additives.
Fear Free Training
I have earned my level 2 Fear Free certification because I am passionate about low-stress handling techniques for my patients. They have great tips for pet owners to use positive reinforcement when training their pets.
VIN
Veterinary Partner by VIN (veterinary information network) has great resources for pet owners to search through to gain a better understanding of various disease processes.
VCA
VCA has a library full of "helpful articles, pet medication information and other health topics relevant to you and your pet."
Balanced Diet
The most common pet food brands I reccomend are Hill's Science Diet, Royal Canon, and Purina. However, if pet parents strongly desire to do a home cooked diet, I recommend that they use this resource to make sure their pet is getting a balanced diet, and they should consult a veterinary nutritionist if they have additional concerns.
