One of the primary goals of The Pet Fund is to inform pet owners about preventative care practices which can help to avoid medical crises in future. By making the long-term health of our pets a priority on an ongoing basis, we can avoid many medical problems and increase the well-being and longevity of our furry and feathered family members. The Pet Fund is not responsible for the outcome of any medical procedure or preventative care measure listed below, but we hope that pet owners will be able to benefit from the common sense approaches we include on our website and in our Pet Fund publications and materials. While the staff of The Pet Fund cannot advise anyone regarding medical treatment of any kind, we hope that you will find the following suggestions useful. The following are a list of suggestions and resources that may be useful to pet owners to both enhance overall pet health and develop good preventative care practices.
