These care guides have been carefully chosen based on a few criteria.

1. Accuracy of information
2. Fullness of information
3. Lack of bias

These guides come from a variety of sources and mediums. We highly recommend that you look at a variety of sources when you are researching pet care and encourage you to use sources other than what we have linked. However, the resources provided should be enough for you to provide basic care for your pet.

There are care guides available for most animals that are commonly kept as pets, but that does not necessarily mean that we recommend all of these animals as pets.
