It gives me a great deal of pleasure to share my excitement to talk about the second year's outstanding Pet 'Net event being held by Petside.com. Bloggers and editors are raising their voices in an effort to heighten the awareness of pet owners to the many dangers to which pets are at risk. Petside is coordinating and featuring 28 pet different pet sites joining together with a common purpose to focus on one of the most important topics; pet safety.

Each of the blogs/sites will cover a different safety aspect and will provide pet "pawrents" with ideas and suggestions to keep those beloved furry family members safe and sound.

Joshua Fried, the Director of Petside.com said, "Common household dangers threaten our pets on a daily basis. By raising our collective voice at once, we hope the Pet 'Net Safety Event will focus much-needed attention to these important issues." His words definitely set the perfect tone for this highly worthwhile event.

This Pet 'Net event could not be held at a more relevant time of the year since we will soon be getting ready to celebrate a series of festive holidays with our friends and family members. Thus it is crucial to keep in mind the necessity of taking the extra time and care to keep our pets protected from harm. Petside will be covering this very critical topic in depth.

Other sites will discuss special safety advice for senior pets, while some will provide information about dangerous household products, giving suggestions which will reduce the risk of accidental poisoning and other hidden perils around the home. Pet Travel safety and first aid hints will also be presented.

Petside also joined forces with the Associated Press in conducting a poll to collect data which reflects people's attitudes and behavior in regard to the safety of their pets. The results of the poll were released today. See them here!

Some of the other participants in the event include the LA Time Pet Blog, About Com Dogs and Cats and Veterinary Medicine, The Baltimore Sun Pet Blog, and Aarff.com.

I think it is always a great idea to educate people on pet safety. Making sure they have the right nutrition, and preventitive medication is also important. I hope this gets a good response.
