Health, Nutrition, and Medical Information The "Care" page on this website lists many websites that cover various topics -- conditions, diseases, nutrition, medication, etc. -- organized according to the topic they cover. Use the navigation bar at the left of the "Care" page to find the topic on which you need information. The next step you might take in looking for information on a specific condition, disease, diagnosis, medication, or therapy is to use an Internet search engine. We like the "Google" engine -- http://www.google.com. To search, use a term such as "canine pancreatitis" or "canine vestibular syndrome," etc. You also may be able to find answers to your questions about health and medication for your dog by browsing some of the sites listed below: The ASPCA is the sponsor of Ani-Med, an organization that offers a free pet care information service via its website. It is a resource for health information on dogs and cats, including seniors. Drs.
