Helpful Resources for Pet Parents
In addition to the Pet Health Care Library, LVS has provided the following links to websites that provide some useful information on a variety of topics related to veterinary medicine and companion animal health care. We will update this page frequently. Please feel free to send us your favorite resource link. We may just add it to the list!
How to Have Happy, Healthy Cats and Dogs Who are a Joy in All Respects: Follow these LINKS!
- Fear Free Pets
The Fear Free mission: "To prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the people who care for them." Seems like a pretty good idea to us.
- Cat Info
What should I be feeding my cat to keep him or her healthy and avoid common nutrition-related diseases and emergencies? How do I transition my cat from what he or she is eating to what he or she should be eating? This site covers what you need to know about feline nutrition. We just advise skipping the "raw food" section as it can be difficult to do safely and there are plenty of other good options available. This site also has bonus info on common feline conditions and perhaps most importantly, the litterbox from your cat's perspective.

From your dog's and cat's basic needs and how to provide for them (e.g. scratching and cats) to toys, perches and everything in between, this is an excellent resource.
