PET INSURANCE?

Does your pet have HEALTH INSURANCE? We recommend looking into a policy from one of the many available companies. Pet insurance can literally be a lifesaver in a surgical or medical emergency and will greatly reduce the stress and burden on your family during this time.

This is a good ARTICLE from the American Animal Hospital Association that lists several companies and does a side-by-side comparison.

Another resource for pet insurance is united pet care. Often offered through your work but also available for the individual. We accept United Pet Care and have seen a lot of happy pets and clients with this company.

Quackwatch

Wondering if a medical therapy or product found on the internet is legitimate? Well, just take a look through Quack watch for the latest information health scams.

Quackwatch is now an international network of people who are concerned about health-related frauds, myths, fads, fallacies, and misconduct. Its primary focus is on quackery-related information that is difficult or impossible to get elsewhere. Founded by Dr. Stephen Barrett in 1969 as the Lehigh Valley Committee Against Health Fraud (Allentown, Pennsylvania), it was incorporated in 1970. In 1997, it assumed its current name and began developing a worldwide network of volunteers and expert advisors.
