    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.

    17years in the pet industry
    nearly 100pet companies served
    From small home operations to multi-billion dollar brandsFood, treats, toys, accessories, retail, pet services and veterinary networks.

    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.

    What that means for your brand

    • Tested on our own sites first

      Every SEO, content and affiliate tactic we recommend, we run on our own publications before it touches your brand.

    • Reviews and gift guides

      Pet brands we work with can be considered for honest reviews, gift guides and features, always clearly disclosed.

    • Real pet-parent insight

      We see what pet parents search for, read and buy every day, and we bring that into your strategy.

    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.

    1. 1

      Discover

      A pet parent searches “best grain-free puppy food” or scrolls past your video.

    2. 2

      Compare

      They weigh your ingredients, reviews and story against the brand next to you.

    3. 3

      Buy

      On your site or on Amazon, the product page answers every question and checkout is easy.

    4. 4

      Reorder

      The bowl is empty again. Email, subscriptions and retargeting bring them back to you.

    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.
