Hi There, 

My name is Cassie and I am writing because I would like to write an article on choosing your first pet as a family or couple or individual to be published on shakeapaw.com. With Christmas and both my daughter’s birthdays clustering in the next couple of months, we thought it was time to have our first family pet, but which one to have? 

After spending a decade working in the petcare industry, including helping to build up petcare brands and stores, I’ve worked with a lot of families deciding on their first pets - couples and individuals too. There’s a good match for all of us be it a hamster, a cat, a dog, or a tank of fish. We decided on a retired guide dog as a way to ease our kids into having a dog who knows the ropes rather than a puppy who is trying to learn at the same time we are. 

Currently I work as a freelance writer and while researching a new article, I came across shakeapaw.com. I feel my focus on selecting a first pet is a natural fit. Would you be interested for me to write a full article on this topic? All I would ask in return is that I can include a site I work with within the article’s resources. 

Please let me know if we can work together. 

Best Regards,

Cassie
