Not everything out there is true or scientifically founded. When trying to decide who to believe, think about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who is sharing the information and what are their credentials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether they are citing scientific references&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If someone is trying to sell you something&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether the information might be outdated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the information is based on actual research or anecdotal evidence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mybeevet.com\/links\/\">great and scientific sources<\/a> out there to help guide you in your pet-related decision making. We are always here to help, too, so don\u2019t hesitate to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mybeevet.com\/contact-us\/\">contact us<\/a>.&nbsp; A Facebook post about how a medication killed someone\u2019s dog probably doesn\u2019t carry a lot of weight versus the FDA safety studies for that particular medication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evidence-Based Medicine in the Hospital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the veterinary hospital, we are not exempt from bias, either. Just because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mybeevet.com\/about-us\/our-vets.html\">our veterinarians<\/a> were taught something at school doesn\u2019t mean that a new article hasn\u2019t proven a better way to do something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine (EBVM) combines the clinical expertise of the staff, the most relevant and best available scientific evidence, patient circumstances, and owners&#8217; values to provide the best pet health practices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because evidence-based medicine prevents us from having a one-size-fits-all solution, it forces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mybeevet.com\/staff\/\">our expert staff<\/a> to commit themselves to life-long learning and evolution\u2014as well as adaptability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the science helps us to make sure that we are bringing the best to your pet, each and every time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When owners take the time to seek out factual information, and a veterinary team continues to learn, grow, and get better, it creates an unstoppable combination. Evidence-based veterinary care brings the best results, and that is what we both want for your beloved pets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an age of social media posts and internet forums, it can be easy to sway away from scientific evidence and into the anecdotal realm.
