Utica Veterinarians at Macomb Veterinary Associates Introduce Redesigned Pet Care Website


UTICA, Mich., Aug. 26, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Utica veterinarians at Macomb Veterinary Associates announced that they have launched a redesigned website. The new, user-friendly design was crafted to make it easier for pet owners to access pet care information and learn about pet health issues. New website features include a blog, bi-weekly e-newsletter, video newsroom and Vetopedia.

Macomb Veterinary Associates is expanding access to online pet care resources with a completely redesigned website, http://macombveterinaryassociates.com.

"Our redesigned website includes information that will help pet owners provide high-quality care," said Utica veterinarian Dr. Tryban. "As a veterinarian, I am excited to provide pet owners with a resource for answering after-hours pet care questions. All too often, the veterinary information available online is simply inaccurate. Pet owners can now turn to our website for trusted answers to pet care concerns."

The new "Veterinary Topics" library includes a special emphasis on at-home wellness care. There is also a checklist so pet owners can better identify the warning signs of illness.

"From a healthy diet to plenty of physical activity, at-home care sets the foundation for a pet's long, healthy life," said Dr. Tryban. "Our website empowers pet owners by providing educational resources on companion animal care."

The redesigned site also includes information geared at first-time pet owners. This includes several sections in the veterinary topics library geared towards selecting a pet, bringing a pet home, and introducing a new pet into the family.

"Many first time pet owners think they want a specific breed," said veterinarian Dr. Wayne Gilchrist. "Sadly, many of these owners must give up their pet because the breed is incompatible with the owner's lifestyle. Our online Pet Finder is a great tool for helping potential pet owners identify the best pets that are compatible with young children or frequent travel. Our goal is to create a successful match and reduce the number of pets that end up in animal shelters."

The website includes information on the different services available at the animal hospital in Utica, including pet dental care, wellness exams, and pet vaccinations. The Vetopedia includes a list of commonly used veterinary care terms and their respective definitions.

"We recognize that many pet owners may be unfamiliar with veterinary terms or the medical names for different diseases and vaccinations," said Dr. Gilchrist. "The Vetopedia, along with our other website resources, will help educate patients about veterinary care."

The Utica veterinarian regularly updates the website's new blog with tips for pet care and information on the latest veterinary care treatments.

Pet owners may also use the website's new appointment request button to schedule a visit.

Macomb Veterinary Associates is a member of the Progressive Pet Animal Hospitals. This family of companion animal hospitals includes Abbey East Animal Hospital, Roadside Veterinary Clinic, and Whittaker Road Animal Clinic.
