In decades of practice, we have acquired knowledge of many aspects of animal care, some of which we wish to share with you, as the first observer of an animal’s behavior and appearance.
The ability to prevent a medical condition before it becomes a serious health problem, and  to assess problems accurately can be life-saving. It can also prevent much pain and suffering to you and the animal – and minimize your animal care expenses as well.

We hope that you will find these fact sheets both useful and informative.
