Dog Health Handbook

The mission of the Dog Health Handbook is to provide dog owners with up to date, well researched information on the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of common canine diseases. While not a replacement for veterinary care, we do believe that an informed owner who can ask questions and act in a dog's best interest is a dog's best friend. The content of the Dog Health Guide Site, such as text, graphics, images, and other material contained on the Dog Health Handbook Site ("Content") are for informational purposes only. The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your Veterinarian or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the Dog Health Handbook Site!

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your Veterinarian immediately. The Dog Health Handbook does not recommend or endorse any specific tests, Veterinarians, products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on the Site. Reliance on any information provided by The Dog Health Guide, Dog Health Guide employees, others appearing on the Site at the invitation of Dog Health Guide, or other visitors to the Site is solely at your own risk. For more information on canine health visit our sister site Dog Health Handbook. We also recommend for cat fanciers and those interested in feline health the site Cat Health Guide.

FCC Disclosure

The Federal Trade Commission requires that we disclose any relationship we have between a product manufacturer or service provider when we write about a product or service.

Here are the guidelines we operate under at the Dog Health Guide:

* We are never paid to do a review. We never accept money to review a product or service. We invest our own time to review products or provide editorial information.

* If we create a link to a product or service, sometimes we may get paid a commission if you purchase the product or service. These links are included after posts and articles are written. Our goal is to provide both quality editorial and helpful product recommendations, regardless of compensation.

* No advertiser will ever influence the content, topics or posts made in this site or related blog.

These are good rules and practices in today’s digital world. It’s important for you to understand the relationship between a person writing about a product and the manufacturer or service provider. If you don’t see a disclosure policy on a blog or website, that site or blog may be violating the law or at the very least the Code of Ethics.

The opinions on the Dog Health Handbook, particularly those contributed by our readers, may not necessarily reflect the views of the Dog Health Handbook editorial staff. We do our best to not include any questionable information.
