Posted on by Janet Eriksson

Pet parents often juggle busy schedules. Small but important pet care tasks, like brushing teeth or coats, are easy to overlook. Pet parents tell themselves they’ll get to it when they have free time, or they’ll start working it into their schedule. But weeks roll by, and those tasks fall by the wayside. 

You can help pet parents get these tasks done through a simple post that will help grow your blog. Write a Monday-through-Sunday pet care calendar and list one small task for each day. These tasks can be repeated from week to week.

Blog Topic Idea for Pet Pros: How to Survive Puppyhood

Posted on by Janet Eriksson

My beloved 13-year-old dog died a few weeks ago. I’m heartbroken. I realized very quickly I needed another dog, so I got a puppy of the same Yorkie breed. He is absolutely precious. But of course, raising a three-month-old puppy takes a lot of energy, made more difficult when you’re already exhausted from grief and the fight for life that preceded it.

A Simple Strategy to Refresh Your Web Copy and Connect with Pet Parents

Posted on by Janet Eriksson

If your current web copy includes these common phrases, there is a simple solution. It takes very little time to refresh your copy. The solution is based on a writing technique known as “Show, don’t tell.” Let’s take a look.
