Trustworthy pet information site?

When I want trustworthy medical information about humans, I rely on MayoClinic.com. What's the corresponding site for reliable info for dogs and cats?
Best answer: The VCA Hospitals website.

Best answer: For dogs and cats, Veterinary Information Network. It's an old school interface, but is posting new info, seems in-depth on diseases, posts (mostly?) written by vets. I spent a good hour poking around their Feline: Health section.
For cats, American Association of Feline Practitioners has resources directed for the public and not just vets. I find their twitter to be the easiest to keep up to date on

Best answer: I'm a veterinarian and I direct people to Veterinary Partner - all advice written by veterinarians.

Best answer: I found the Merck vet manual helpful while researching this month about my sick cat. You can also get it as an app on ios. Veterinary partner was also very good.
