Ask Your Pet Questions Here!

So far in this blog I've mainly been linking to pet health articles I've already written, or occasionally writing a new piece specifically for this blog. Since my main goal with creating a pet health blog in the first place was to answer some common questions many people have about their pet's health, I want to know if there's a subject you'd like more information on, or a question you're having difficulty finding the answer to.

I've found in my 10 plus years of working in the veterinary field that some veterinarians are better at explaining things than others. Also, some pet owners are hesitant to ask more questions when they don't understand something. Or maybe they don't even realize that they don't understand until they've had a little bit of time to think about what they heard from the veterinarian.

I am not a veterinarian. I'm a veterinary nurse with lots of experience. Before going into the veterinary field I was a wild animal trainer, so animal behavior is one of my very favorite areas of special interest. If I don't know the answer to your question, I'll do my very best to find out. Research is another favorite hobby of mine.

Comparing Veterinary Pet Insurance Companies

Pet health insurance companies are becoming more an more popular to cover the rising costs for quality veterinary care. Deciding on a policy that fits you and your pet can be easier said than done.

As a veterinary nurse I'm lucky to get a nice discount on veterinary services for my own pets, so I don't have pet insurance myself. However, our clients work with many of the most popular pet insurance companies, and the sales reps love to visit us to toot their horns.

Here is my best advice on how to choose a veterinary insurance company.

How to Find an Avian Veterinarian for Your Bird

Finding a veterinarian for a cat or dog isn't too much work. Finding a competent veterinarian with experience seeing birds can be a real challenge. I've worked for Board Certified Avian Veterinarians, and I've worked for veterinarians who were just 'willing to see birds'. I can tell you there is a world of difference in the quality of care. Birds have very special health needs, and finding a good avian veterinarian is important for your bird's health.
