AskTheCatDoctor.Com offers unique, fairly-priced, and customized advertising options that reach a very targeted audience. This passionate, cat-loving site is visited by more than 3000 daily visitors, all of whom are cat owners looking for expert advice on the care of their favorite felines. The number of visitors increases monthly as does the number of page views which is currently around 200,000 per month.

Our advertising program offers members of the pet industry the opportunity to increase visibility in their sector of the cat products market through distinct, one-in-a-category sponsorships.

There are numerous non-internet ways to advertise such as magazines, brochures, and newspapers, but these one-time, geographically limited, and semi-targeted exposure methods are not nearly as effective as the targeted, long-lasting, convenient, and geographically far-reaching Web.

The problem with these non-internet print methods of advertising is their lack of distinct targeting. They are put before readers rather randomly, not necessarily when they are looking for the particular services or products being advertised. The reverse is true of internet advertising. Most web advertising is seen when a person is actively searching for something of interest or the solution to a problem and they land on a website where your advertising is located, therefore reaching a highly targeted audience.

The right website reaches highly-targeted pet owners anywhere anytime. In addition, repetition is powerful. This, combined with the positive appeal of advice from an authority who is trusted and shares your passion for your products, can most effectively bring you the results you would like to see and that you deserve in return for the money you put into advertising.

AskTheCatDoctor.com is a special place for cat owners. Dr. Neely has written all of the content, which at present includes over 1532 pages. She has been a cat lover all her life and a cat veterinarian for 20 years. Her readers value her expert advice and often consult her for second opinions on their cat’s problems.

Dr. Neely also works full-time in her own feline hospital, counseling those cat owners as well. This day-to-day contact with pet owners puts Dr. Neely in a unique position to stay current on the needs of pet owners. She can then direct them to the best cat diets, litter, litter boxes, pet insurance, parasite control, and other such cat supplies.

The easiest way to evaluate the pet product market is by examining consumer age. Spending on pet products varies most significantly with age. Important demographics include:

• individuals between the ages of 55-64 spend 26% more than average
• these individuals tend to be married couples whose children are grown and have moved out of the home or whose adult children are living in the home
• this population constitutes 1/3 of the pet-owning households in the US
• they account for more than half of all spending in the categories of pet food, pet supplies, and pet services
• the 55-64 population tends to have more expendable income and they do not hesitate to spend whatever is necessary to provide the highest quality, most nutritious products for their pets

An important growth area of the pet product industry is senior pet care. Dogs and cats are living much longer these days due to improved care and their owners feel that they are cherished members of the family. There are more geriatric pets now than ever and the number is increasing at a rapid rate.

A veterinarian such as Dr. Neely, who is spending a great portion of her time caring for pets in a veterinary hospital and writing an extensive, comprehensive cat website, is counseling a growing number of owners of these geriatric cats. The older cat population is more likely to have a greater need for check-ups, preventative care, treatment of health conditions, and chronic age-related "aches and pains" in need of special diets and supplements.

Packaged Facts reported that over $728,000,000.00 was spent in 2006 on natural products for pets. This was up from the year 2001, during which $338,000,000.00 was spent. An estimated 71% of the expenditures were for food. This was followed by Cat Litter (20%) and health products (9%).

Dr. Neely is asked frequently to recommend the "best" food, "best" litter, "best" supplements, and many other products.

We are in an era that is emphasizing "premium" products for pets with concern for better health of pets being at an all-time high. What better place than a veterinarian website to promote your health-related products?

Based on internet averages obtained from Alexa.com's unparalleled database of information about sites, the majority of Ask The Cat Doctor readers are females who are in the age range of 55-64 years old and have a college education, have no children, and browse this site from home. The visitors to AskTheCatDoctor are exactly the targeted audience that pet product advertisers are trying to reach!

- brand your business and

- direct-response market your product straight to your prospective, highly-targeted clientele.

Again, this persistent, repetitive, and positive exposure to your products by a trusted authority such as Dr. Neely can best deliver the results that you deserve from your advertising dollars.
