My Friendly Pets

I feel it is my role as your blogger to provide you, my readers, with as much great information as possible regarding dogs and any thing related to dogs, directly or indirectly. I am always looking for quality, legitimate material to pass on to you, so that you may learn more about the dogs you love.

There is a certain irony in the information I am going to provide to you in this entry. As I mentioned a couple of entries back, I had to travel recently to a funeral which was held in Florida, south Florida to be specific. The family who lost their loved one resides in Boca Raton, Florida. Upon my arrival home, I began to ponder about material for entries that I would share with you. As I did, I came across a website that I have mentioned in previous entries called www.petplace.com

The irony of this story relates to the fact that Dr. Jon Rappaport is the founder and CEO of PetPlace.com. He is a veterinarian and owns several animal hospitals in South Florida. In fact, when I subscribed to the “Crazy Dog Newsletter”, I received an e-mail about it and noticed that the address from which the website originates is very close to where I was in Boca Raton, just last week. I found this coincidence very interesting.

Dr. Rappaport as described here is extremely qualified to provide us with the information he does. Please read below:
“Dr. Jon Rappaport, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and Founder – Dr. Jon Rappaport, is the founder, CEO, and Chairman of the Board of Intelligent Content Corp. He received his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 1982. In 1983, he completed an internship at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital focusing on small animal medicine and surgery and in 1985 he completed a residency at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine in small animal internal medicine specializing in fiber optic scoping and ultra-sound. Since 1985, Dr. Rappaport has developed a number of state-of-the-art animal hospitals in the South Florida area. His clinics are among the largest providers of quality veterinary care in the Southeast and have succeeded through a combination of quality, trust, ethics and understanding the human-animal bond coupled with the highest degree of customer service, convenience, and one-stop shopping.”

With his team of over 80 veterinarian contributors, Dr. Jon provides his readers (over 1,000,000 per month) with the most up to date verterinary information. His site encourages interaction with readers by allowing dog picture posting and submission of wonderful dog stories. As a proactive animal health care specialist, Dr. Jon uses his website to warn dog owners of the dangers that face our beloved 4 legged friends. Articles that discuss toxins for dogs, obesity and Dr. Jon’s most recent warning about the danger of paper shredders for dogs (Licking the shredder can cause and “auto” shredder to severely injure the dog) are readily available on this web-site.

I recommend sites where information is accurate and useful for my readers. I hope that you continue to come here and gather information that is in your best interest and more importantly, in the best interest of your dog.
