YPSILANTI, Mich., July 22, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Whittaker Road Animal Clinic in Ypsilanti has just released its redesigned website. According to veterinarian Dr. Jeff Rothstein, the veterinary hospital made the site easier to navigate and added new features to help people access their pet's medical records and learn about keeping their pets healthy. The website contains an interactive 'Pet Selector' tool and several articles designed to help prospective pet owners prepare before bringing home a new pet. Visitors to the site can also schedule appointments, fill out forms and interact personally with the staff through the website, as well as their social media pages.
Dr. Rothstein says that the redesigned website adds more value for their patients' families than the previous version. "The entire site has been revamped with pet owners in mind. Pet owners often search online for cat care and dog care information, so we've placed a large video and article library in the Veterinary Topics menu. Now pet owners can get reliable, current information about pet health very easily."
Pet owners can also access the veterinary hospital records for their pet through the secure Pet Portal. According to the veterinarian, this makes it fast and easy for people to check their pet's health records and keep current on their pet's vaccinations.
Dr. Rothstein says that the new features were designed to save pet owners time and make communication more convenient. The secure Pet portal enables pet owners to communicate with the pet hospital staff around the clock if necessary. PDF versions of necessary paperwork are also available under the New Patient Center tab. According to Dr. Rothstein, having pet owners fill out this paperwork at home saves everyone time during the first office visit. It gives him more time to get acquainted with new patients and their concerns. Pet owners can also schedule appointments through the website.
The website also provides several interactive features for families who would like to adopt a pet. The Pet Selector button at the top of each page activates an interactive quiz that matches families with breeds of dogs or cats that might best fit with their lifestyle. The Veterinary Topics menu also contains several articles to help people prepare their homes for a pet. Articles about microchipping, spay and neuter surgeries, flea and tick prevention, behavioral issues and health conditions are also available to the public.
Dr. Rothstein is eager for people to start using the website to help keep their pets healthy. "We will also have a blog, Facebook and Twitter pages where people can interact with us and discuss pet health issues with other pet owners. It's a very useful new website."
