You buy Groceries from the Grocery Store and…. Pets from the Pet Store?
By Rebecca Shipman
Any publication would probably say that their readers are their most important asset, and for Pet Boarding & Daycare, this couldn’t be more accurate.
This isn’t People Magazine where we only need to turn on TMZ to find out what’s trending and send those assignments out to our writers. This is the boarding and daycare industry where popular topics include [safely] breaking up dog fights and marketing to local dog owners. In this niche industry, we rely on our readers for feedback, article ideas, and facility profile suggestions. While we have a wonderful team of writers, most of who are the top experts in the industry, we (and they) always appreciate reader suggestions.
I got a phone call the other week from a facility owner who, unfortunately, had a dog die while staying at his facility from GDV (Gastric Dilatation Volvulus), or bloat. While it was too late to prevent that unfortunate tragedy, he wanted to make others aware of this dangerous medical emergency. Did you read the March/April issue?
We take our readers' suggestions seriously because our goal as a publication is to educate our readers. As always, our articles are carefully chosen to aid you in running a more profitable, efficient, and safer facility. So if there is something that you think is missing or a particular topic you would like one of our writers to address, please feel free to contact us!
