Terms of Use.

Everything on this website, including articles, videos, podcast episodes and answers to common questions, is general education for pet owners. It is not veterinary advice for your own animal and does not create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship between you and Dr Carra Walters, Hillcrest Veterinary Hospital or Just for Pets. See the Medical Disclaimer for more.

You may read, watch and share links to the content for personal, non-commercial use. The text, images, video and audio on this site belong to Dr Carra Walters or are used with permission, and may not be copied, republished or used commercially without written consent. Quoting a short excerpt with a link and credit is welcome.

Dr Carra works from published evidence and clinical experience, and reviews articles on the dates shown on each page. Veterinary knowledge changes, recommendations vary by animal and by country, and no page can cover every situation. Content is provided as is, without any warranty that it is complete, current or suitable for your circumstances.

Links to other websites, and content embedded from YouTube, Spotify and Instagram, are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

Where an episode or piece of content is sponsored or produced with a partner, that relationship is disclosed on the content itself. Sponsorship never determines the clinical view expressed.

Messages sent through the forms are handled as described in the Privacy Policy. Sending an enquiry does not oblige either party to enter into any agreement.

To the extent permitted by South African law, Dr Carra Walters and her businesses are not liable for any loss or harm arising from reliance on the general information on this website. If your animal is unwell, contact a veterinarian.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
