About PetsPage.com
PetsPage.com was created and founded by Karen Bostick with a mission to make pet owners aware of a higher level of veterinary care that can often save pets' lives when all else fails. This higher level of veterinary care comes in the form of veterinary specialists, which most pet owners don’t know exist. These veterinary specialists can literally save a pet’s life when a primary veterinarian is stumped or does not have the expertise or experience to treat a dangerous life threatening illness.
PetsPage.com’s creator, Karen, knows this from personal experience. Her little dog Tinks almost died of a serious auto-immune disease. It took a veterinary internist to save Tinks' life. As the daughter of a veterinarian, even Bostick did not know of veterinary specialists and the life-saving treatments for pets they can provide. When it comes to pets’ health, Karen believes pet owners need to become their pet's advocate and aware of all the treatment options that are available for their pet today. Wanting to share that message with pet owners everywhere, Karen created PetsPage.com.
PetsPage is not however, just a dry pet health education website. In fact, it’s anything but! PetsPage.com is an engaging social community designed to connect pet lovers with other pet lovers as well as veterinary specialists, other pet professionals and pet products in a fun, friendly and interactive way! PetsPage.com is in its final week of beta launch and the website will officially launch on July 15th, 2013.
During the development process of PetsPage.com, Bostick turned her beloved little Tinks into a social super star with her facebook pages - Karen Bostick & Tinks, We Love Tinks, and MyPetAdvocate.org, which collectively have over 135k likes and growing.
Prior to founding PetsPage, Karen Bostick was the President/Co-Founder of Blackwell King, a veterinary recruiting firm that specializes in the placement of veterinary specialists with veterinary specialty and emergency hospitals all over the world. During her tenure at Blackwell King, Karen visited many veterinary specialty hospitals and attended numerous specialized conventions. She quickly realized she was not alone in her lack of awareness about veterinary specialty medicine and decided she must do something to educate fellow pet owners. Karen left Blackwell King in early 2013 to begin creating her vision of connecting pet owners with veterinary specialists, and she’s really had fun creating new ways to incorporate more social features to attract pet owners to this important information.
