The content in this tab of the website is designed for use by pet owners in their home care for their animals. The information is derived from the professional-focused Merck Veterinary Manual. Basic, and some medical, information for owners is covered, as well as special subjects such as emergencies and pain management. A User Guide helps readers best understand and navigate this content, and a Glossary is available for term definition.
The information is written by experts, but owners should consult their veterinarian when making care decisions for their pets.
