What This Guide Isn't

A Note About Veterinary Care

The Red Flag or Normal? A Practical Dog & Cat Health Guide provides general educational information to help you better understand common health changes in dogs and cats, recognise potential warning signs and understand when veterinary attention may be needed.

It does not provide individual veterinary diagnosis or treatment, and it does not replace a veterinary examination or professional advice from your veterinarian.

If your dog or cat is unwell, injured or showing concerning symptoms, contact your veterinary team. If your pet shows signs of an emergency, seek immediate veterinary care rather than relying on this guide.
