When families go searching for that perfect house pet, the amount of information can seem overwhelming. PetCareRx has a Breed Guide that can be accessed by would-be pet enthusiasts to find the applicable information for most known breeds of dogs and cats. The main page is divided into dogs and cats for easy reference. When the website visitor clicks on the “Dog Breeds” button, a separate webpage for the dog breeds is presented. The first section on the page is for the most common dog breeds. After that section, all of the breeds are listed alphabetically.

One webpage for each breed of dog or cat is presented with the following information.

• History – The history of the breed includes the origin and first uses of the breed by the people who first discovered the dog. Some breeds are pinpointed to the actual year while most are given a general timeframe for the discovery. Working dogs are noted for their contributions to settling various countries around the world and their contributions to various military conflicts. The history of the names of the breed as they have changed is also included.

• Appearance – Each breed is described according to size, stature, color and striking features. While the website does not currently have pictures for each breed, most can be found through a simple Internet search.

• Personality – Information on the basic personality characteristics of a breed is applied to the overall breed. The pet owner must realize that every animal is different and will develop a specific personality according to their surroundings. Certain dog breeds are generally more aggressive, and certain cat breeds are generally friendlier.

• Health concerns – Physical characteristics will cause certain health conditions to arise as the animal ages. Some of these health concerns are simply part of aging, while others have been discovered to exist only in certain strains of the breed. The pet owner is advised to ask some informed questions prior to adopting pets with propensity to certain health concerns.

Many people choose a certain breed of cat or dog based on experience with that same breed at some point in life. When additional information would make the decision easier, the PetCareRx Breed Guide is there to provide information that will enhance the search for the best possible match between pet and human. Every animal is unique and will add immeasurable joy to family life when every effort is made to care for the health of the pet.
