Finding Pet Suppies

As any consumer knows, running a search for pet supplies on the internet instantly returns a laundry-list of retailers trying to sell you something. From online stores selling pet supplies to kennels and pet hotels, consumers are immediately grabbed at by businesses trying to make money in the pet supplies industry. So where can the responsible pet owner go for reliable information and news about pet supplies? There are many sources, they are just unfortunately cloaked behind the mass of commercial hype which has overthrown the internet. One great resource is “Pet Product News International”, an industry magazine with all the most relevant pet supplies information. The only downside is that non-industry members must pay a subscription fee to receive the publication. While this might be a realistic option for those with many pets, or small pet supplies stores, vet clinics, or grooming salons, this is probably not the best option for an average pet owner.

Another great source for pet supplies information is in daily print news media. The Chicago Tribune and the Baltimore Sun both run a subsection of their “shopping” section which is specifically related to pet supplies. This is a wonderful resource for consumers to find out about new advancements in the field, as well as any pertinent recalls. They also frequently feature the feel good “fluff” articles loved by most pet owners, and if nothing else are good for a laugh.

For those who are glued to their computers, I offer two additional online sources about pet supplies. FocusonPets is a terrific website geared toward the pet owner, without all the related hype. I can also wholeheartedly recommend that you continue to read my pet supplies blog for important news for you as well as your pet.

Wherever you choose to get your pet suppies information, it is important that you make the active choice as a pet owner to seek it out. While it is not always easy, convenient, or straightforward to find, responsible pet owners always take the time to research their pet supplies. Do not be drawn into pet supplies retail websites without checking first with an independent source whose primary motivation is not to sell you something. While the pet supplies industry is by and large a wonderful industry run by conscientious pet owners, it is important to remember that it is still a business driven by profit, and therefore unreliable as a source of information.
