The Pack & Purr Collective
To help dog and cat owners understand what their pet actually needs — through evidence-based training, health, and behavior guidance instead of one-size-fits-all rules.
The Pack & Purr Collective started at a dog park, where Sarah, Emily, and Jessica kept ending up in the same conversation: pet owners were drowning in conflicting advice, half of it written by people who'd never actually worked with animals. They wanted a resource written by people who had.
Sarah spent years as a veterinary technician before becoming a full-time writer, and still fields the same nutrition and health questions from friends that she used to answer at the clinic. Emily is a certified dog trainer who's worked with everything from anxious rescues to competition obedience dogs. Jessica is a certified cat behavior consultant who got tired of watching cat owners get parenting-style advice that doesn't work on cats at all.
Our readers are dog and cat owners trying to solve a specific, current problem — a dog that won't stop pulling on the leash, a cat that's suddenly stopped using the litter box, a diet question their vet didn't have time to fully answer. We write for the moment right before you'd otherwise Google it at 11pm.
