    Helpful Links

    Veterinary Medicine, and pet and animal care interests in general, are represented by a huge number of websites. This is both good (meaning that some answers to a question burning in your mind at 4 A.M. are available instantly) and bad (some of the information online is just plain lousy). While not vouching for the authenticity of every word on every one of these sites (our own included), these were a few that seem especially useful, or maybe just cool, in our opinion.

    www.veterinarypartner.com is one of our favorite sites, loaded with valuable info about dogs, cats, small mammals, and even reptiles, written by some of the top veterinarians in the country.

    Go here for: Poison Control information, First Aid for pets, Behavioral info, and detailed information about thousands of medical and surgical conditions of animals among other useful stuff.

     

    www.healthypet.com is the site run by the American Animal Hospital Association. It is a great source for all kinds of information on small animal medicine and surgery for the families of pets, and has links of its own.

    Go here for: Dog and Cat breed information, vaccination recommendations, lists of frequently-asked questions for dog and cat health issues, and questions about the practice of veterinary medicine in general.

     

    www.piersonbarkparks.com is the site for the Pierson Bark Park in Fishers. It’s 4 acres of fenced fun for socialized dogs, including a pond for them to swim in during the warmer months. It includes a nice shady pavilion for owners to sit and chat while the dogs are playing, as well. Membership information, hours of operation, and park rules are all listed on the site.

    www.avma.org/animal_health is a public information site of the American Veterinary Medical Association.

    www.trupanion.com is the website for Trupanion, one of the nation’s leading pet insurance providers.
