What have you always wanted to know about pet ownership, animal behavior or Veterinary medicine?

Pet ownership is filled with an ever changing information and it becomes difficult to find reliable sources of knowledge. While some clinics recommend one thing another clinic may say the opposite. How can pet owners find information that will be helpful and safe for their pets ?

Some of our favorite recommendations for clients to become educated in Pet care, behavior, and training can be found on these trusted Veterinary websites.

Does your pet love to have their head out the window, the wind in their hair and the ability to sniff to their hearts content?

If so, help keep them safe during travel by protecting their puppy dog eyes with eye protection such as Rex Specs or Doggles.

Eye injuries are a common injury that can be prevented.

Today is Pet Insurance Awareness day.

Have you thought about the 'What ifs' of a pet emergency? The answer maybe getting your furry friend a Veterinary Pet Insurance policy.

Veterinary costs have increased and Veterinary Insurance has greatly helped pet owners with the cost of chronic condition, illness and injury and medical emergencies.

Did you know that over 5.36 Million pets are currently covered by Veterinary Pet insurance. This may sound like a huge number but this is an average of 4% of dogs and 1% of cats.

Pet insurance, like human medical insurance, has a variety of options, coverages and prices. Each State also regulates their Pet Insurance policies, meaning that if you are potentially moving, you may consider a company that is in all 50 States.

While Pet insurance may not cover 100% of pet costs, having a safety net that can cover up to 90% of Emergency costs can greatly increase a pets quality of life.

To learn more information about different types of pet insurance, check out this great resource from our independent friends at Pet Insurance Review.com
