Welcome to Pets in the News!!

This is a gathering place for all things that effect the health and well being of our pets.  A place to find out and even get a grass roots campaign going - anything about Pet food recalls, boycotts, petitions, emailing campaigns, etc.

 The best way to keep everything organised and neat is to use Descriptive Subject names.   Once a thread has been created any information that fits that discussion should be added to it.   Do not change or add anything to the subject name when replying and Google will automatically keep them threaded into the one discussion.  

If you are replying to someone or something specific - please include the post you are replying to and post your response ABOVE the quoted part.  

For the Discussions for News alerts and Informative type items - it's best to remove all quoted text and just post the article and/or small portion of the article and Always include links to the source document (if available).  

To actually TALK ABOUT the news & inform. articles - please start a new thread and name it accordingly (including a link to the original post won't hurt either).   This will ensure that info threads remain a good research tool. 

Before starting new threads - take a quick look and make sure we don't already have one for it.

Gmailers will completely understand why all of the above is important - non-gmailers, just trust us and try to follow these guidelines (or better yet...get a gmail account!! LOL)

Keep an eye out here for revisions and additions as new issues arise. :o)
