YARDLEY, Pa., Aug. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Vetstreet.com, a
leading website dedicated to providing pet owners with the most
trusted and authoritative pet health information available, is
proud to announce an innovative new tool to help in your search to
find the perfect pet. Our Breed Finder
(www.vetstreet.com/breed-finder) uses vetstreet.com's comprehensive
breed profile data to provide users with an accurate dog or cat
breed match based on their ratings of individual pet
characteristics.
The tool asks users to rate characteristics that are important
to them — adaptability; affection level; apartment friendliness;
barking tendencies; cat, child and dog friendliness; exercise
needs; grooming requirements; intelligence; playfulness; shedding
level; social needs; stranger friendliness; territoriality;
trainability; and watchdog ability. Based on the responses, the
tool then takes the user to a list of breeds that are appropriate
matches.
In addition to breed characteristics, each breed profile offers
a gallery of photos, an overview of the breed, history of its
development, personality information, and health and grooming
needs, as well as advice on finding that dog or cat. Most dog
breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club and cat breeds
recognized by the Cat Fanciers' Association have profiles on the
site, including 228 dog breeds and 48 cat breeds.
"One of the more popular areas of our site is the breed profile
pages that we have carefully put together over the past four
years," says Dottie Normile, VMD,
chief medical officer of Vetstreet. "This tool allows our readers
to engage with those pages so they get accurate information in a
fun way."
With new content posted daily, vetstreet.com is the
resource for today's pet owner. For additional pet content, please
