the best healthcare for every pet with every condition every time that's my
vision and guiding light to achieve this my mission is to make OurPetsHealth.com
a trusted comprehensive go-to resource for owners worldwide by
providing in-depth fact-based education the results will be better informed
choices and improved owner vet engagement now this will ultimately
improve and optimize the health care of each individual pet there is already so
much information on the Internet so why is our pet's health different well let
me break down for you why I know this website and this channel will help you
and your cat or dog hi I'm dr. Alex Avery helping you and your pet to live
healthier happier lives now unfortunately most internet
information falls into one of three categories the first category is
information that's unreliable and based on hearsay or anecdotal stories it may
be entertaining or even shocking to read other people's experiences but they're
not necessarily based on reality and they are very unlikely to be completely
medically accurate remember there's two sides to every story and here's why
animal health is incredibly complex individuals can suffer with a number of
different diseases at the same time medication instructions may not have
been followed appropriately a diagnosis may be misremembered advice and warnings
may have been given but forgotten now while tales of problems experienced
the miracle cures are mostly well-meaning it's always worth taking
people stories with a pinch of salt and maintaining a healthy degree of
skepticism there's also a surplus of self-styled experts and a vocal minority
who do not believe in science or have no relevant training who can forcefully
reject anyone who disagrees with that fantastic review of animal health and
treatment now the second category of information on the Internet is that
delivered by people with an underlying agenda generally with beliefs country to
that of the general veterinary community and so the reverse of that proven either
by robust scientific methodology or by expert veterinary consensus now these
people often have no relevant training or they may even be vets you've chosen
to completely reject all of their university training
on these sites and forums you'll find information based on principles which
have been proven not to work or for which there is very little evidence
apart from anecdote to support their claims remember anecdotes are pretty
much stories the authors also often peddle the belief that every vet apart
from themselves and other alternative practitioners of course is part of a
big cover-up and in the pockets of one evil corporation or another while at the
same time trying to peddle their own supplements or miracle cures all that
I'll say is that there is no global veterinary conspiracy now the third and
final information category currently available is superficial or inaccessible
information that's accurate but it does not answer fundamental questions they
might skip over crucial information or it might be difficult to digest and so
fails to help fully educate and ensure informed decisions are able to be made
now this is good information but more could be done and now it is being done
that our pets health calm now on my websites and YouTube channel I provide
detailed independent impartial evidence-based information and advice I
present information to the best of my understanding reflects the current
thinking and knowledge of the wider veterinary community in other words
information that's been proven to be the case sure I admit in some instances
researchers weak or lacking our knowledge contains gaps and in these
cases the information delivered will be the veterinary community's majority
consensus now of course just like human health care veterinary care is
developing at a rapid pace and we can never hope to know everything with 100%
certainty what we know now the diagnostic methods and treatments
available will undoubtedly change over time as well as be influenced by the
area we live in and the resources available to us recommendations may
change as our understanding improves but for now it is this information for
which there is the best evidence anything else is pure speculation
finally by providing this information as videos by having it in articles and also
as audio podcasts I hope that it will be accessible to all and delivered in a way
that really suits you for after all much like our pets we're all individuals and
we all learn and live in different ways reading lots of text does not suit
everyone with videos allowing a more person
very delivery of information an audio podcast allowing it to be reviewed when
other options are inappropriate like driving in the car I'm really excited to
have been given the opportunity to improve our pets health and happiness
and I really hope that as a community we can really make a difference if you have
any questions or if there are any topics you'd like covered in future videos then
please leave a comment down below I'd really love to hear from you also make
