The internet can be tricky when it comes to helping you with pet care. For every reputable and dependable website for pet owners, there’s another that is – well, neither. We want to make sure you’re armed with accurate information to help your cat live a long and happy life, so we’ve built a list of educational cat care websites you can trust. Enjoy learning about your cat’s health online, but always remember, nothing online takes the place of a visit to your veterinarian for a thorough, gentle, nose-to-tail examination and consultation.
We invite you to start the learning with Dr. R’s Blog. Dr. R has written a variety of articles filled with great information and tips for cat care, all sprinkled with her fun and irreverent sense of humor.
