IT'S REIGNING CATS AND DOGS IN AMERICA!
As one of the country's leading multi-media pet lifestyle experts SANDY ROBINS documents the wonderful relationship that we have with our pets highlighting trends and innovative ideas as they happen.
Many dogs and cats have a lifestyle that mirrors their pet parents' own lives. This trend grows by the day as more establishments become pet friendly. In many parts of the country pets are welcome at restaurants and coffee shops. They are a part of the work force and travel everywhere with us on vacation and weekends away. Nothing is too good for our fur kids. Consequently, the pet industry is a 36 billion dollar business – bigger than both toys and candy!
Sandy documents this industry every step of the way. Her award-winning work is very visible on many of the country's leading pet platforms such as MSNBC.com. She is also the lead lifestyle writer on MSN's dogcentric website DogCentral.MSN.com and a regular contributor and columnist in multiple national publications such as Dog Fancy, Modern Dog and Cat Fancy. Every feature or TV appearance breaks new ground as Sandy details everything from state of the art surgical procedures to improve our pets' wellbeing to the latest haute couture designs and the new home décor trends as they unfold.
If there's a major event in the pet world, you can count on Sandy being there. She is a regular visitor at all major pet industry expos and a regular attendee at conferences such as the annual Cat Writer's Conference. Her followers always look forward to her offbeat coverage of the world famous Westminster Dog Show, held in New York every February. She is a member of the Cat Writers of America and the prestigious Dog Writers of America organizations. As a published author she has strong ties to Romance Writers of America and is a former Program Director of the Orange County, California chapter.
Sandy is an avid campaigner for no-kill animal shelters and laws that protect animals everywhere. She is a strong advocator of pet adoption. Every pet deserves a loving permanent home and she has been among the first to point out that shelter pets do benefit from the luxurious lifestyles that other pets are lucky enough to enjoy because over-indulgent pet parents are often the first to give donations and organize fund-raising events to help animals that have been abandoned and neglected.
Also because of her far-reaching connections in every sphere of the pet industry, her readers know that if they have a question, Sandy will do her best to provide the answer. Because she often travels internationally, she knows what it hot and happening in other parts of the world too.
Of course it goes without saying that she is a besotted pet parent to a menagerie of fur kids at her home in Southern California.
