More Information About the Dog Health Guide

Mission Statement

The mission of the Dog Health Guide is to provide dog owners with up to date, well-researched information on the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of common canine diseases. While not a replacement for veterinary care, we do believe that an informed owner who can ask questions and act in a dog's best interest is a dog's best friend.

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your Veterinarian immediately.

Jeff Grill, Publisher

Jeff Grill and Dog Biscuit

The Dog Health Guide is a labor of love for Jeff. He started the Guide in 2006 after finding the search for quality canine health information difficult and unsatisfying. When he did find it, it rarely provided any depth or actionable information. Everything he found was either too basic, or didn't provide an opportunity to ask questions. The Dog Health Guide does both. In his role as publisher, Jeff finds and works with the many writers, editors and veterinarians that contribute weekly. He makes sure that every contributor has the reader and their need for fast, accurate, and helpful information in mind.  Jeff has been researching and editing pet health articles for over 12 years. Nothing gets written that he wouldn't do for Biscuit.
