BarkWiki helps dog owners find educational information on dog health issues to help you read more about certain types of conditions, infections and diseases your dog may or may not have right now. It is always our best recommendation to bring your dog to a qualified veterinarian, but we want to offer informative information we've spent hundreds of hours researching from veterinarian approved sites. Most dogs qualify for dog health insurance, which could save you thousands of dollars for unexpected veterinarian bills.
