Official PetKaboodle Blog

Come join the greatest new community on the web!

And earn great perks for being a frequent poster!

If you’re like me, you probably worry that when you sign up as a member of a website, the registration process will ask you a million questions about things that are not even relevant to the sign up!  I often think:

“Why are you requiring my address just to create an account?”

But that’s not even the worst of it… next thing you know these websites start sending you all sorts of newsletters and promotions and maybe even calling you! That’s not a fun experience at all!

This is why we here at PetKaboodle.com strive to make it as easy as possible to be a part of our community without ever  requiring more information than the bare minimum.  We will never send you newsletters you did not sign up for, nor will we bother you in any way that is irrelevant to what you signed up for.  That’s our promise to you!

Here is a step by step of exactly how to create an account, and make your first forum post on PetKaboodle.com:

Step 1: Click the create account link in the header of PetKaboodle.com

Step 2: Enter and confirm your email address

(WE WILL NEVER SEND YOU SPAM)

Step 3: After clicking next, you will see the following screen and a confirmation email will be sent to the address you specified.

Step 4: Check your email and navigate to the link inside of it to confirm your account.
