Is there a new puppy in the house and you're at wit's end trying to train him? Or is your dog an older gent that's displaying new habits or health problems. Have you thought about taking a vacation out of the country but don't know the laws about bringing Bowser along? Are you looking for info on a specific breed, or trying to find a rescue group? Are you moving and need the name of a good veterinarian? Or is yours a pampered pooch that needs a rhinestone-encrusted collar and leash? Places to find all of this info and more are listed below. . .

www.dogage.com This website offers a fun quiz about your dog, his diet, exercise and lifestyle. Factoring in all this information, it lets you know your dog's "real" age. It also offers a dog tip of the week, and even a dog of the week, where people send in pictures of their dogs to be featured on the front page of the website. Wouldn't that make the other neighborhood dogs jealous?

www.dogbreedinfo.com Almost anything you'd ever want to know about dogs including information on most breeds, health care, puppy care, dog training, where to find rescued dogs and breeders and more.

www.vetlocator.com Not only does this website have the names, numbers and locations of over 60,000 veterinarians nationwide, it also has a nice resource library for FAQ's like spaying/neutering, pet allergies and more.

The website for the American Kennel Club is www.akc.org and here you'll find breed-specific info, as well as how to chose the right dog, how to take care of a new puppy, health information and more. It also gives information on how to register purebreds with the AKC, events associated with the AKCactually just about anything you need to know about purebred dogs.

www.avma.org is the website for the American Veterinarian Medical Board, but it has an entire area (look for the gold header to the right on the main page) for pet owners. A link for free info is wonderful, with about 50 different downloadable brochures on everything from selecting a pet, pet safety, vaccinations and more. Anything and everything you'd want to know about your pet's health is available in the FAQ section, as well.

www.1800petmeds.com We've all seen the commercials on TV, and this website lives up to its name. Almost any type of medicine your dog would need for any health problem is available here. Keep in mind that some may require a licensed veterinarian's prescription; if it does, the customer service department will contact your vet over the phone. The website
