Rescue Reference Library

One of the most important roles of any rescue groups is to provide education, to current and prospective owners, as well as educating foster homes. The articles presented here contain information about sharing your life with a Newfoundland. While many of the articles contain health information, please do not use our site to attempt to diagnose or treat your pet. Your veterinarian is the best source of health advice for an individual pet. Please do use our site to become better informed about the medical problems your pet may have. We will do our best to ensure that information presented is accurate and up-to-date. Remember that veterinarians often disagree about the best treatments for pets. There are often several perfectly acceptable ways to treat the same condition. Just ask a lot of questions! All articles are presented in downloadable PDF format. These articles have been provided for NCA use online by the Southeastern Newfoundland Club.
