FetchDog began as the dream of a bunch of dog-crazy friends with a common complaint why was there no great place online to shop for its dogs or to connect with dog experts and other dog lovers? They wanted products that were sturdy, practical, yet beautiful to look at­, not stuff that looked like it belonged in Dad's den or the garage. They wanted thoughtfully-designed items that would complement its tastes and lifestyle. And they wanted its dogs to enjoy naturally healthy food, treats, and health care products free of chemicals and byproducts. Most of all, they wanted all these things in one convenient place so they could spend less time shopping and more time with its best friends. Ideas for the best-ever dog website came by listening to those in the know dog lovers like you. Here's what they heard: in addition to beautifully-designed products and a hassle-free shopping experience, people wanted a place to explore health questions, find training tips for new pups or older ones with bad habits, discover tools for researching breeds, get adoption tips and advice from canine experts, and of course, find cool videos and stories about everyone's favorite subject dogs. With all that in mind, they built FetchDog. They think it's the online community they have been missing. Its faithful dogs have been with them all the way testing its product choices, complaining when they worked too late, and benefiting from the advice of the many experts who have joined the FetchDog team. They hope you'll join them on this exciting venture to the dog park, and please bark back your thoughts and suggestions as to what might make FetchDog the absolute best online resource.
