Medical Disclaimer

My Pet Pit shares general information about pet health, nutrition and care. It is written by a veterinarian, but it is not a diagnosis, a treatment plan or a substitute for an examination of your animal.

• No veterinarian-client relationship. Reading this site or contacting us does not create one. We cannot diagnose or prescribe through the site or by email.
• See your vet for any health concern. If your pet is unwell, in pain, or changing in behavior, appetite, breathing or toileting, contact your own veterinarian.
• Emergencies. If your pet is struggling to breathe, collapses, has seizures, has swallowed something toxic, or is bleeding heavily, go to the nearest emergency clinic now. Do not wait for an online answer.
• Medicines. Never start, stop or change a medicine, or give a human medicine to a pet, without your vet’s instruction. Articles about medicines explain what vets use them for and what to watch for. They are not dosing instructions.
• Information changes. Veterinary guidance changes. Each article shows when it was last reviewed.

By using this site you accept responsibility for decisions about your pet’s care.

General information only, not veterinary advice. Contact your own vet about any health concern with your pet.
