For the past two months, Harry Monell has devoted a great deal of time to keeping up with the latest news in the evolving tragedy surrounding the pet food contamination debacle. And, in doing so, was struck with the realization that the general public is typically uninformed regarding many important issues affecting the pet industry, and their pet in particular.
"There are many websites that focus on individual aspects of dog ownership, such as training, breeding, showing, etc. but few that cover the entire range of topics, as well as, the latest pet related news headlines," says Monell. "It just makes more sense to provide as much useful information as possible, and all in one place, to add convenience and value to the site user's experience."
The website includes an option for joining the monthly newsletter delivering informative articles and tips for all dog owners; on-site links to hundreds of unique and helpful articles; rss feeds linking the website to the very latest breaking dog and pet news; downloadable ebooks to help with training your dog, or even making your own dog food; links to Amazon.com which offer a host of topic or breed specific title sources; and a special feature that allows the user to share their personal stories or articles with other website visitors.
In a message to Monell, Rachel Delgado, a long time friend, writes "I think I can speak for anyone who owns a dog when offering my sincere appreciation for the time and effort devoted to bringing this valuable resource online. It's simply amazing that so much helpful information can be derived from one unique source. Keep up the good work. And, may you be blessed for help you're providing to others."
"No, I'm not what anyone would call an internet guru or political activist," laughs Monell, "but I do take a great deal of pride in this resource which all dog lovers can share. The recent months have been tragic, in view of the illnesses and deaths associated with tainted pet food and I'm certain this website will help everyone stay up-to-date and on top of the issues."
