KUTV — When it comes to caring for your furry family members, accurate information matters. But with so much pet advice circulating online, it can be difficult to know what’s trustworthy — and what could potentially do more harm than good.
Dr. Devon Smith joined Fresh Living to help pet owners navigate the digital world and find reliable, science-backed resources for their pets’ health, nutrition, and overall well-being. From understanding vaccination guidelines to evaluating diet trends and behavioral advice, Dr. Smith emphasized the importance of turning to credentialed veterinary professionals and reputable organizations.
He encourages pet parents to look for information from licensed veterinarians, established veterinary associations, and peer-reviewed research rather than relying solely on social media posts or anecdotal stories. When in doubt, your own veterinarian should always be your first and most trusted source.
By knowing where to look — and what to avoid — pet owners can make informed decisions that keep their four-legged companions happy, healthy, and thriving for years to come.
