Where to Find Pet Health Tips, News, and Podcasts from Cornell’s Veterinary College
Updated
The featured content on vet.cornell.edu is the fastest starting point: it links to dog toothbrushing tips from the Riney Canine Health Center, an Equine Seminar Series video on understanding colic in horses, a biweekly news roundup signup, and a podcast episode on chronic pain in pets. For ongoing updates, use the College news and In the media sections on the same site.
Pet health tips
The homepage’s Featured area rotates practical, owner-facing material. Current examples include:
- Dog toothbrushing tips — produced with the Riney Canine Health Center, aimed at owners establishing a home dental routine.
- Understanding colic in horses — an Equine Seminar Series video covering causes and treatments.
These items are short entry points rather than complete care guides. If you need species-specific guidance beyond what is featured, the site’s Health Topics menu item and the hospital pages (Companion Animal Hospital, Equine and Nemo Farm Animal Hospitals) are the natural next stops.
News and the email roundup
Two channels carry college news:
| Channel | What you get | Cadence |
|---|---|---|
| News roundup signup | Stories from the college delivered to your inbox | Every other week |
| College news section | Research and college announcements on the site | Updated continuously |
The College news section currently includes items such as a Cornell engineering effort to recreate lubricin for aging joints, a study on trust in AI-driven food safety, and a report on the future of the American university. These are research- and institution-level stories, not clinical advice for a specific animal.
Podcasts and media coverage
- Podcast — the featured episode has Dr. Jordyn Boesch addressing how to solve chronic pain in pets. Podcast episodes are highlighted in the Featured area, so check there for new releases.
- In the media — a section collecting external coverage involving the college. Useful if you want to see faculty commentary in news outlets rather than college-written summaries.
A practical way to use the site
- Start at the homepage and scan Featured for owner-friendly tips and the latest podcast or seminar video.
- Sign up for the news roundup if you want college stories without revisiting the site.
- Use College news for research context and In the media for outside coverage.
- For an actual animal health concern, move to the hospital contact numbers listed on the homepage rather than relying on feature articles — the Companion Animal Hospital line is 607.253.3060, and the Equine and Nemo Farm Animal Hospitals line is 607.253.3100.
One caveat: featured content changes, so a tip you saw earlier may no longer be on the homepage. The news roundup and the news section are the more stable ways to keep up.
