Last revision: June 27, 1999.

I'm doing monthly check for outdated links. These will be marked as "Site not functioning." I'm leaving them on this page for a short period of time in case they are only temporarily down. These links will be removed if they remain non-functioning.

indicates added to this page within the past few weeks.

This list includes pages produced by both veterinary and non-veterinary sources. Some of the information is based on good science, other may be based on myth and hear-say. Always remember to use proper judgement with what you read, and consult with your veterinarian before you take action with your pet's health and well-being!
