We started in pet.
17 years ago our founder, Kevin Sando, started MyDogLikes, a publication for dog lovers. Growing it taught us SEO and digital marketing from the inside. Today our family of pet publications includes MyDogLikes, MyCatLikes and Animal Bliss, and VitalUP was built on what they taught us.
We know pet parents because we're pet people: they read every label, trust other owners and stay loyal to the brands that earn it.
We don't just market to pet parents. We publish for them.
Our family of pet publications is where we learned this business, and where we still test every idea. It gives your brand something most agencies can't: a direct line to pet parents.

Fill the bowl. Then refill it.
Food, treats, toys or accessories, every sale walks the same path: from the first search to the reorder. We help at each step.

Same path. A different playbook for every aisle.
A bag of food is a long-term commitment. A squeaky toy is an impulse buy. We weight each step toward the channels your category actually sells on.
