Terms and conditions
VetTalk provides an advice service subject to the following terms and conditions. This
may be updated from time to time without notice. You should review the Terms and
Conditions periodically for changes. The advice contained in the VetTalk site is for
information purposes only, not a replacement for professional medical care or attention
by a qualified veterinary surgeon. The advice will present the most common aspects of
medical conditions. It is not intended as a diagnosis. If the condition is very severe or
persistent we strongly advise that your animal is seen by a qualified veterinary surgeon
as soon as possible.

cover advice for pet animals (cats, dogs, rabbits, small mammals) and commonly kept
exotics.
VetTalk makes no guarantee that (a) the advice given will meet your particular
requirements, (b) the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, (c) the
results that may be obtained from the use of the given advice will be accurate or reliable,
and (d) the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or
obtained by you through VetTalk will meet your expectations.

submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. Any failure by Vet Talk to
exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Conditions shall not constitute a waiver
