The hardest part is going to be the updating! I'm scrambling to add new sources before anybody gives up on me. Good luck with your list, Julia! :)

Thanks Anne! Nah, people won't give up on you!

I'm weeding through the markets to see what's still current. :)

You've inspired me to write something(s) about the cats and birds I've had through the years! ;)

Cool!!! I'm always excited when somebody says they want to write about animals. LOL

Checking to see that the links work is going to be a headache, along with checking to see what's still current! Lots to do. Here's hoping we both come up with great lists. :)

Thanks for taking on this project, Anne! It's going to be such a huge resource! When you're ready, I've got some more doggie mags to add to the list.

Thanks, Rose! I appreciate any magazine info contributions you'd like to make. :)

Go ahead and post them here in a reply if you'd like and I'll assimilate them into the other list soon. Eventually I'm going to break the markets/research sources into easier-ro-read segments, but this is a good start. I hope!

Thank you again, Rose. I knew you'd have some great doggie info. And thank Howard, too, for being such a good research assistant. :snoopy: <--Howard

Hi Celeste,

You're very welcome! Rose really came through with all the dog markets/links, huh?

Stay tuned. More listings are on the way soon. :)

Resource: AVMA Press Room

Need an interview with an expert? Check out the web site of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Here's where you can get media contact info for hundreds of veterinary organizations/institutions. Just be patient--they're busy folks and can't always respond quickly. Excellent resource for anyone who writes about animals.
