Veterinary Resources

When the Animal Medical Center’s veterinarians and staff aren’t busy taking of our clients and their pets, they are busy reading, searching for and learning about the latest developments in veterinary science and animal care. Most of our staff have pets of their own, and can relate to the challenges and questions you may face as a pet owner. Browse through a selection of helpful links and recommendations from AMC’s veterinarians and check back often, as we’re constantly coming across helpful resources that will benefit both you and your pets.

The Indoor Pet Initiative is a great resource for pet lovers to learn more about the fundamental physical and behavioral needs of companion dogs and cats. This is a great place to look for information about behavior issues and solutions.
