ANIMAL CARE

National Pet Wellness

I found this National Pet Wellness website http://www.npwm.com/home.htm in a brochure
at our vet’s office and wanted to pass it along to all parents of animals..
It is primarily for cats and dogs. Cat owners especially want to check out this link
of the website “The Subtle Signs of Sickness in Cats”
http://www.npwm.com/cat-slider.htm  Much of the information posted on this website
 can help you detect early stages of illnesses in your cat or dog.
Cat owners may also want to check the Cornell Feline Health Center
http://www.vet.cornell.edu/FHC/ They are an excellent non-profit
(that accepts donations) and conduct research that benefits cats
world wide and the vets who treat them.
