Your pets are a precious part of your family. Pet animals are as varied as the people they live with and depend on their owners for their care. Pets play an important role in the home and can be wonderful companions to children, adults and seniors. The bond that forms between a family and their pet is a joy and pleasure.

Here you will find information about your pets, including health, feeding, allergies, senior pet care, dog odor control, flea control, behavior and training tips, pet insurance, and more. I originally published most animal articles in 1995.

Many years ago, Toby Lee created a 300 page website about animals, mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. Schools used the website for research and information for their students, and the website was involved with The Roadkill Project as part of a National Science Foundation teacher enhancement grant. Many awards were received for expert content. The website also was number one in search engines for two years, and Toby Lee received more than 100 emails a day from visitors with questions about their animals.

Over the years Toby Lee raised giant green Iguanas, African Grey parrots, cockatiels and parakeets, many dog breeds including rescues and purebreds, cats, forest hinge-back tortoises, and tropical freshwater fish in 55-gallon aquarium tanks. Her experience with all kinds of animals makes her an expert.

While working as a Google Answers Researcher from April 2002 until the service ended in December 2006, one of her specialties was answering questions about animals. Toby Lee's qualifications include being a ghostwriter for an eBook and 75 articles about pets and animals, researcher, web designer, editor and proofreader.
