Have you ever had a hard time finding a ride home from the airport? Or had trouble getting a ride to bring your pet to the vet? If you rely on ridesharing for some of your transportation needs, it can be very difficult to find a driver that will agree to bring your pet along. And, unless your pet is a service animal, they're not typically allowed on public transportation.

Aparna Srinivasan is changing that. She is the founder and C...

Exposure to different environments, stimulating different sensory receptors, pla...

If you take your dog with you everywhere you go, you probably take a lot of safety precautions. He probably wears a harness, and I'm sure you bring a leash with you wherever you go. There are also some precautions that you should take when bringing your pet along for a car ride.

If your dog is free to roam around the vehicle while driving, it will be dangerous for you, him and any other passengers in the vehicle. A free roaming d...

Picking the right type of nutrition for your dogs and cats can be quite overwhelming for pet owners. There are so many options to choose from. How do you know which product is the best choice for your furry companion?  Reading labels can be confusing, and online research is time consuming.

Digestive health is a topic that is greatly underserved in the pet food industry, and vastly underappreciated by pet owners. Most pet parents believe that feeding a high quality food is equivalent to caring for their pet's digestive health. Unfortunately, that couldn't be farther from the truth.
