Our Team

Our editors are exclusively veterinarians with many years of professional experience in the field of small animal medicine, especially in dogs and cats.

Under the “New Knowledge” section, we select from the diverse information presented at conferences, in specialist literature, and political information those that we believe might be of interest to the general public of dog and cat owners.

The medical information is regularly reviewed for accuracy and, if necessary, revised according to the latest state of knowledge. We provide you with the last revision date. In some cases, we provide external links to specific sources.
