Were you wondering...how dogs and cats contract heartworm disease? How diabetes can be managed in your pet? How seasonal indoor, outdoor, or food allergies can effect your pet?  We have determined that the following list of credible websites can provide you with a treasure trove of valuable information on various health care topics.  As with any website the information available is constantly changing, therefore the Somers Point Veterinary Hospital is not always able to check every website listed.  So, if you have a question about something you have read on one of these websites, please call us, email us, or message us on facebook just to ask.  There is a lot of information available on the internet and it may not always be right. 

Most importantly NEVER change your pet's medications or give your pet human medications without first consulting your veterinarian!  It could be very dangerous for your pet's health and in some cases could lead to death.
