GuardianVets provides after hours triage services by telephone.
It’s 3 a.m., and your cat is coughing nonstop. You’re beginning to panic. Should you take him to the ER? Can this wait until tomorrow? If only there was an after hours vet to give you some advice.

The company won the grand prize in Purina’s Pet Care Innovation competition at this year’s Global Pet Expo.

Biohacking for humans has been around for years, although many of us have never heard of it. The simple definition of biohacking is adding nutrients or more natural foods to your regular diet to improve your health and quality of life.
