Many parts of the country have no access whatsoever to vets who have knowledge of caprine health or nutrition. Moreover, many breeders live in remote areas where veterinary services are not readily accessible even if they are available.

Some medications mentioned in the articles require veterinary prescriptions and vet supervision, and we try to make sure to advise readers of these facts. Please read the notice to the left.

We have also provided addresses, phone, and fax numbers for a few of the good animal supply houses below. If you know of a good supply source we have missed, please let us know.
