You want to be the best pet parent you can be. Here's some help. The University of Illinois School of Veterinary Medicine website has information on an extraordinary variety of pet topics through this easily searchable site. Each week topics are added to the general information, dog, cat, bird, and wildlife categories. You can also sign up for free mail updates in your areas of interest.

On the General Information page you will find information on brain exercises for your older dog, heartworm prevention, pet dental care, and hundreds more topics. There are news topics indexed by species.

The most unique feature of this site is the Pet Loss Helpline. People who are either grieving the loss of a companion animal or are anticipating a loss may call during their hours of operation to talk with a compassionate, understanding person about their grief.
