COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 26, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Veterinarian Dr. Mike Stahl of Centennial Animal Hospital announced that the hospital has launched a new website. He explained that the new site was designed for pet owners looking for trusted pet health information. The new site design is crisp and uncluttered, and it contains links to their social media content, which he hopes will help them build a community of fellow pet lovers. According to Dr. Stahl, the website has several new features, including a veterinary blog, which will contain pet care articles and foster discussions.
Dr. Stahl, who heads the Colorado Springs animal hospital, says he is eager for people to start using the website. "People can contact us through the website, schedule appointments, download forms and fill them out at home instead of in the office. That gives us more time to spend getting to know new patients and their families instead of completing paperwork. The whole thing has been designed to make life easier for pet owners. We will be adding blog articles about pet health so that our patients' families have a trusted place to go, night or day, to find information about everything from pet dentistry to pet vaccinations and pet surgery. People can ask questions and respond to others' questions and comments here, as well as over at our Facebook page."
The veterinarian points out the Pet Selector feature, which he hopes will help people make informed decisions about adopting a pet. A button for the quiz is accessible at the upper right of each page. This enables families thinking of adopting a new pet to answer several questions about their lifestyle. The answers help the Pet Selector match breeds of dog or cat that might fit well within a family. Dr. Stahl says that responsible pet ownership and healthy, rewarding lifetime relationships with pets start before the pet first enters the home.
Dr. Stahl explains that they are particularly excited about the social media component of the website. He says that pet owners often look online for information regarding pet health. He wants people to come to their Facebook page to discuss pet health and ask questions about everything from emerging treatments such as pet laser therapy to common concerns such as nutrition, pet boarding and pet grooming. He says that they also have a listing on Yelp so that people can find them easily via their smart phones and give them feedback about their services.
According to Dr. Stahl, "We have great hopes that our new website will be easy for people to use and provide a lot of extra value for pet owners looking for health information for their pets."
