VetLocator.com Announces Nationwide Pet Owner Survey

VetLocator.com, the #1 online directory for locating pet health professionals, has put out a nationwide invitation to pet owners to participate in its annual "The State of Pet Health Care"

October 19, 2007 -- CLEARWATER, FL - VetLocator.com, the #1 online directory for locating veterinarians and pet health professionals, has put out a nationwide invitation to pet owners to participate in its first annual "The State of Pet Health Care" survey.

The goal of this survey is to get an accurate picture of the state of pet health care today from the perspective of the pet owner, and then to get that picture clearly communicated to the pet professionals they entrust with their pet's health and well-being.

"What we know about pet health and how best to care for our pets and companion animals is continually changing," said Adam Ferguson, VetLocator.com's president and editor of the directory's weekly newsletters. "Because of the services our site delivers, we frequently see frustration happening between pet owners and pet health professionals who are not meeting each other's expectations. The effects of the pet food recall earlier this year only made matters worse. Many pet owners turned to the internet seeking information on what to do about the tainted pet food danger and through the process became "educated on pet health", sometimes in a somewhat haphazard way. Attempting to "share" this information with their veterinarian was not always welcomed.

"We wanted to get a very clear picture from a wide sampling of pet owners across the nation on how they view pet health care and then share those results with the pet health provider community so they have a better understanding of how to best serve both pets and their owners. We are asking for every pet owner to participate in our survey, so when the message is delivered it reflects as many voices as possible."
