Shanghai, China, 2010 – “My dog joined a pet social network and already has more friends than I have!” This is a common statement of users on Petizens.com a very popular destination for pet lovers all over the world. Unlike FaceBook and MySpace it’s the pets that make friends on Petizens.com. On Petizens.com you can meet Karma, a cat dressed in Spiderman suit, on a mission to save the world, Roxy the curious Labrador, Boogie a superstitious black cat and Lucky the duck among tens of thousands of other cool and fun pets.

Pet social networking websites allow users to create a webpage exclusively for their pets. Create a personal profile for your pet, upload those cute photos of your puppies; upload videos of your parrot trying to mimic you; or share that amusing story where your dog knocked the daylights out of your nosy neighbor. You can share your unique pet-related experiences, get to know more about understanding pets, be more knowledgeable of the medical conditions pets are vulnerable to, or share and learn more pet care tips.  

                                                                                      
Pet forum and blogs, a common feature of pet networking sites, provide a universal and flexible platform for people to discuss about various pet issues. You can also be a member of a pets community; just join the dog lovers community that you had wanted to do for so long a time.

There are a number of websites currently offering such pet networking services. The number of such sites has increased in the recent years and the trend is expected to continue given the popularity of these sites. Some of these websites are supported by corporate adverts, while some get help from members. These websites form an ideal platform for marketing a variety of pet-related products.

Most of the pet social network sites mimic their human equivalents, with a small profile photo of your pet and lots of information. However Petizens.com changes this with the focus on the design of the pet’s profile page where you can easily drag and drop your cute pet photos, videos, and blogs. Now you too can introduce your pets to the world through www.petizens.com
