MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, June 16, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HWY 403 Dundas Animal Hospital in Mississauga announced that the practice has launched a new website to better educate pet owners about veterinary care. The new website, http://www.vetinmississauga.com, includes informational articles on the basics of at-home pet care, tips for selecting the right pet, and website blog, which is regularly updated with wellness care news. Veterinarian Dr. Guri Sandhu says the new website will help the practice achieve its goal of educating pet owners.
Dr. Guri Sandhu, a veterinarian with HWY 403 Dundas Animal Hospital in Mississauga, announced the launch of a new veterinary website to better serve pet owners. The website complements the practice's commitment to providing proactive veterinary wellness care.
"As a veterinarian my goal is to prevent illness and help all pets live a long, healthy life," said Dr. Sandhu. "My veterinary team and I can't do this alone; good pet care starts at home. By partnering with pet owners, we can help pets live a more active, healthy lifestyle each day. Our new website is an important part of this process."
The veterinary website features wellness articles and other pet care resources, including information on the basics of pet surgery, pet dental care, and pet vaccinations. These articles explain why these different services are so important for pet care. Dr. Sandhu says the articles are useful for all pet owners, including first-time pet owners that are still "learning the ropes."
"First-time pet owners can easily be overwhelmed by all the pet care information available online," said Dr. Sandhu. "Our new website serves as a trusted resource for pet owners to get answers to their questions regarding pet care and services available for their pets."
For families interested in adding a pet to their family can use the website's "Pet Finder" feature. This website feature pairs individuals with different breeds based on their lifestyle compatibility.
"The goal with this feature is to help first-time pet owners know exactly what to expect," said Dr. Sandhu. "Different breeds are better for families with young children, active couples, or older adults."
For pet owners who have recently welcomed a new pet into their family, Dr. Sandhu recommends visiting the "Veterinary Topics" library. Topics here include "bringing your pet home" and "living with your pet." Pet owners can learn about the basics of house breaking, puppy and kitten care, nutrition and activity, along with general pet wellness care basics, like spay and neuter.
Pet owners who visit the website may also learn more about the specific services available from HWY 403 Dundas Animal Hospital. The website's "New Patient Center" includes information on payment options, online forms, and what to expect in advance of the first visit.
Pet owners may also use the website's online appointment request form to schedule a wellness visit. For more information, visit http://www.vetinmississauga.com/.
