With over one million monthly active users, you pet lovers out there have probably already heard of Facebook’s not-so-new pet sites - Catbook and Dogbook - but they are new to me. I had to check out the sites - which are Facebook applications where pet owners can set up a profile for their pet, post photos, and “friend”other pets/owners. In addition to Catbook and Dogbook, there are apps for other animals as well - Horsebook, Fishbook, even Ferretbook. On the sites, there are ways to connect with other pet owners who have the same breed or live nearby to meet up for doggie playdates. Posting adorable photos to share with online “friends” is undoubtedly the most popular use of the sites. Anyone out there on Dogbook or Catbook?

For the record, even Isaboo has her own Facebook page! Friend her!

I am a dogbook user, I know some people have teased me about it, but my Copper deserves the attention too

Joined Isaboo on Facebook, thanks. I received the sample of your Nutrish Dog Food and my dog, Pilot just “Vacumed” it up! I have found no other food that he has enjoyed and eaten as quickly as he has your dog food. I admire and respect you and love your show. I wish you and yours a Happy Valentines Day also!

Thiis is a great feature for pet lovers and owners. I’m also crazy for the Style Section in Dog Fancy Magazine. Great ideas for designing homes with dogs, cats, well, just about any pet. Remember, whatever is dog proof and cat proof is probably slob proof too!

Thank you for sharing this information about all the animal books…how wonderful. It is so important for all of us who understand that our animals are kindred spirits worthy of respect and love to have opportunities to connect with each other. This is how we build a better world for all living beings.
We invite you to join with us also…Animal World USA-International..as we create Weeks for the Animals in the states and internationally. We list rescue groups and sanctuaries (at no cost) on the front pages of each website created for each state and international country groups. We then describe their events during the week with a direct link to their own websites.
We welcome all businesses,clubs and cultural organizations to join in the celebrations to acknowledge and support the animals.

Hi Rachel:
I finally got a chance to view your website. I love you and your show, but my main curriosity was to see a picture of izzyboo. I have a red nose pit and his name is Jeezyboo LaRock. He has the same markings as Izzyboo. The look alike. He is ‘THE BABY’ in my household and I love him COMPLETELY. He has brought me total joy and hapiness. I know how u feel about your pet. I will try to do dogbook. Thanks Rachel.

Ok Rach!
My four legged kids now have their own Dogbook page! Hopefully Jethro and Bailey can become great friends with Isaboo!!! I also ordered your dogfood and I can’t wait to see how the kids like it. Love from me and the doggies!!

Hi Rach!
Beau Beau has had his own page for quite some time.
This past weekend we were a part of an amazing Dog Rescue event - Last Chance Highway.
We adopted Buster, one of the 8 pups to be featured in a new series:
Animal Planet Rolls Out New Summer Series:
Last Chance Highway
This summer, Animal Planet will change that with LAST CHANCE HIGHWAY, an eight-part series produced by Al Roker Entertainment that focuses on two individuals’ monumental mission to give unwanted dogs one last chance for survival.
The stakes are high for Shelly Bookwalter and Kyle Peterson and for the soon-to-be-euthanized dogs they are fighting to save from a tragic fate.
Each year, they organize a band of volunteers to take part in a unique mobile adoption campaign. Shelly leads an effort to find homes for strays and unclaimed shelter dogs.
And every week Kyle climbs aboard his tractor trailer rig to transport those lucky dogs, and more than one hundred others, thousands of miles up the east coast to meet their new families.
This heroic journey is repeated almost 52 weeks a year; it’s an exhausting ritual but one which finds homes for more than 150 dogs each week.
This past weekend was the official pet adoption weekend.
We adopted our Buster on Feb. 13th and feel like he has been a part of our home/family forever.
Please consider adoption when thinking about a pet!!!

I adopted 2 full grown Persian cats whose owner had died-a friend of mine called me after my 20 year old Maine Coon passed away. These sweet beauties needed to stay together- 5 and 8 years old. I already had a 16 year old Maine Coon cat and thought 3 cats might be too much.
My life and my Maine Coon’s life, have never been happier-they are sweet, loving and so happy to be loved-adult cats that need a home are the best.
My “little children with paws” have blessed my life- with all that goes on-there is always joy and happiness in my home-they ‘respect” the older cat and she has found new “youth” with their antics.
Any home that needs to “have and give love” needs to adopt an animal- dog or cat. They make your life complete.
I have never been happier with my “children with paws”- all 3 get along so well-loving, sweet and
02.26.10 @ 5:01 pm
We ‘friended’ Isaboo on Facebook and are still waiting for confirmation…
02.26.10 @ 8:19 pm
Hi!
My Sheltie (Dakota) has tried to “friend” Isaboo and it is still marked as “pending friend confirmation” or something to that effect……….c’mon Isaboo and answer!
02.27.10 @ 5:39 pm
Hi! Rachael, I was wondering if you were going to start up a cat food line anytime soon.
02.27.10 @ 9:57 pm
Hey Rachel:
Our Pitbull Remi is awaiting Isaboo’s friendship on Dogbook!
02.28.10 @ 6:37 pm
Rachael, my dog loves your Nutrish dog food. I use them as treats when she says “Mama”. Go to YouTube and look under “Nakita says mama” and you will see my talking dog. I also love your show. I watch it every day. Keep up the good work.
03.05.10 @ 11:38 pm
Dear Rachael, my human and I are big fans and watch your show together every day. We attempted a friend request with Isaboo a month or so ago and never received a confirmation. We are very disappointed. I’m a good girl and I’m just over 7 years old. I’m a collie/great pyrenese mix and rescued my human while I resided at the humane society when I was 10 months old. My human is disabled with severe Fibromyalgia and I take good care of her. I make sure she always has company (even when I have to put up with her evil siamese cat). I love your Nutrish food but live in a small town and can’t find it very often. Please have more pet segments on your show and let us see more of Isaboo, thank you.
03.07.10 @ 9:43 am
I want to thank Rachel for developing Nutrish. My 7 year old Long-haired Dachsund has terrible skin problems. Olivia would scratch herself until her skin bled and she had scabs. I tried everything, vet products, different dog food and nothing worked until I found Nutrish. Thanks again Rachel this dog food is amazing!!
04.04.10 @ 10:56 pm
Hi Rachael, you’ve got a fan in Singapore! I was wondering if you would make Nutrish available for purchase in Singapore as I’d like Dewey (he’s an Engish Cocker Spaniel which I adopted from our local animal shelter) to do his ‘taste test’. He’s not a picky eater at allll, so I know he’d like it.
04.08.10 @ 11:21 am
We currently have 10 cats (in the past we were up to 11 cats).
Many of our cats are adopted from shelters but a few were strays from the neighborhood. Two are from local litters (kittens from our friends cats). Each cat has its own story but regardless of where they are from we love them all.
04.14.10 @ 10:13 pm
Think your Nutrish is a GREAT idea. But I have questions:
(1)How about diet? My girls are getting old (like me), and weight and mobility are problems (like me).
(2)Love the recipes, too. One question though… how much food in the recipes is approprite for the dogs’ meals?
(3)Also, I’m disabled. Any way I can have Nutrish delivered? What stores stock it, since I don’t get out much and can’t search stores for it?

I was looking for some place on this website to share this story. Please read, do what you can for Walter or other animals in need. http://helpsavewalter.blogspot.com/

A pit bull sanctuary in Divide Colo is losing its home to foreclosure and eviction. Mariah’s Promise (check out its website) is almost done and they have no idea where there 40 bullies will end up. The bank (in India) wants just $55,000 to sell the sanctuary property, home of the sanctuary founders, but Mariah’s Promise has nothing like that, as all donations go for dog food and vet. You’d think it would be easy enough to raise but not here (its founder’s husband lost his business a year ago and they have had to fight neighbors in court for several years now).
Anybody have any ideas for helping the sanctuary buy its home?
05.16.10 @ 1:17 pm
Dear Rachel, I just wanted to know if you know of any group that is donate cat food to my babies, I have 25 cats and 1 dog that I have either rescued or either someone dropped off at my door over the course of the past 5 years. For about the past 1 year I was able to go the the local SPCA which is about 1 hour away in Raleigh NC and get about 100 pounds of food free threw what they call a Pet Food Pantry, but back several months ago I was told that I could no longer get any food from them due to the rescues I have. These animals are my babies and I have raised them just like anything else. If you know anyone that might be able to help me, so that I dont have to turn them over to a shelter.
Thank you so much Lisa in Henderson NC

09.28.10 @ 10:21 am
Hey Rachel and all your fans,
We are pet lovers, and have a wonderful dog and lots of cats. We also raised an abandoned baby deer last year, and our black lab dog, Buddy, grew to love the deer. They became close friends. Here’s a video of Buddy and the little deer, named “Theen”, playing with a soccer ball together. There’s also a followup video of them playing with another ball at a later date. Too cute!!! I hope everyone enjoys this video!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnZSTkycovg
There are more photos and video links of them on their facebook page, which is called “Fans of Baby Deer Theen and Black Lab Buddy”. It can be found on facebook by doing a search for “Buddy Theen”. Enjoy!!!

Hi, Rachel could you do some meals for dogs on the go? I am a member of the National Animal Assisted Crisis Response and when we get called out to where ever I need to take food for my Newfoundland Lily with me. Or maybe some great treats that will last for a week or two? thanks, Char & Lily
