Is dentistry ready for animal-assisted therapy?
Animal-assisted therapy has proven successful in many health-care settings. Is it right for dental offices? Many hope that it is.
Ailing pet? Ask your veterinarian, not Dr. Google
Veterinarian Lee Pickett explains why veterinarians are a better choice than Dr. Google for learning about your pet's health and investigating problems. A veterinarian's tools and expertise help him or her uncover problems owners likely can't. Veterinarians collect information by talking with the owner, examining the animal, documenting changes over time and running diagnostic tests to arrive at the right diagnosis, and Internet searching is a poor substitute for that process.
Why Cat Bites Should Not Be Ignored
Based on the study conducted by Mayo Clinic, cat bites should never be ignored, and there are cases when victims may require hospitalization for treatment.

An ounce of heartworm prevention is worth a pound of cure
Treatment of heartworm disease can cost as much as $1,000 for bigger dogs, much more than the cost of monthly preventive medication, notes veterinarian Melissa James. The health costs to dogs are high, as they suffer severe damage to the heart, kidneys and their overall health, and some dogs do not survive treatment. Heartworm preventive medication has the added bonus of killing other parasites that can cause illness in dogs and people, Dr. James adds.
Respiratory failure: Could intestinal breathing be a new treatment?
After finding that pigs and rodents can breathe through their intestines, researchers were able to rescue the animals by delivering oxygen through the anus.
Why some veterinarians recommend pot for dogs
More people are using marijuana for medical purposes and not veterinarians and pet owners are doing the same thing.
Getting to the root cause of pet's increased drinking and urinating
When an owner asks why a pet is constantly drinking water and urinating more frequently, veterinarian Robert Runde explains the potential conditions that could lead to the symptoms in dogs and cats, discusses tests used to help discern the cause and points out the health consequences in pets who are not diagnosed and treated. Dr. Runde emphasizes the importance of promptly seeing a veterinarian for any animal whose drinking and urinating habits have increased.
