In 2009, PetsPage.com creator Karen Bostick’s beloved Maltipoo dog, Tinks became critically ill. Tinks was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA). The general practice veterinarian treating Tinks diagnosed him, but did not recommend any additional outside help. With Tinks at death’s doorstep, Karen begged her vet for more treatment options. Finally, with only moments to spare in Tinks’ life, she was informed that the specialized veterinary care Tinks needed was indeed available. Tinks was ultimately saved by a board certified veterinary internist – a veterinary specialist - and now he’s a happy, healthy, and vibrant 9 year old member of Karen’s family. The daughter of a veterinarian herself, Karen was surprised that even she was unaware of veterinary specialists. Her experience with Tinks set her on a mission to bring awareness to other pet lovers. Shortly after Tinks’ recovery in 2009, Karen cofounded BlackwellKing, a recruiting and change consulting firm in specialty veterinary medicine. After working for several years directly with veterinary specialists, she knew she needed to work more closely with pet owners to increase awareness about advanced veterinary care. She left BlackwellKing in early 2013 to create PetsPage.com to do just that. PetsPage.com is not however, just a dry pet health education website. In fact, it’s anything but! PetsPage.com is an engaging social community designed to connect pet lovers with other pet lovers as well as veterinary specialists, other pet professionals and pet products in a fun, friendly and interactive way!
