Online Veterinarian Community & Tools for Pet Owners

There is a fairly recent website that includes informative articles, including news pieces, blogs, forums and much more referencing pets and their owners. It is featured as an interactive community, created and ran by veterinarians. The website is based out of Australia and is meant to be a collaborative effort between veterinarians and pet owners, so that they can and will make the most informative decisions.

The community was created with the thought in mind that there needs to be better and more efficient communication between pet owners and their vets. Dr. Nick Wonders, one of the vets who is a part of the website community, states, “Pet owners are constantly bombarded with misleading and dangerous advice online. During consultations, we are often made privy to some of the more concerning myths and misconceptions getting about on the internet, such as the theory that garlic is an effective flea preventative (when in fact, a single clove can potentially cause life threatening anemia in cats). Therefore, Vetico was developed to provide a reputable, trusted source of online information, written by Veterinarians and freely available to educate pet owners.”

Although based in Australia, we at Pet Nanny, feel that the message of the online community, Vetico, is relevant worldwide and can bring all kinds of people from all walks of life to join together with a mutual love and well-being for their pets.
