PET PARENT LEARN MORE

GOLD LEASH K9

GOLD LEASH K9 is an online destination to help Pet Parents, which was created out of my own need for help in managing the lives of my three dogs, Rook, Mr. Bo-Bo and Bella. From sharing information on my dogs with sitters, groomers, walkers and other providers; accessing everything from my favorite photos of my dog’s to critical medical records; and finding the best care for my dogs. I needed help.

Premium Services

Premium Care

In addition to “gentle nudges” for vaccinations, grooming, examinations and other life events, you’ll get customized emails that provide helpful care tips specific to your dog’s breed, life stage, and personality characteristics.

Be the best pet parent you can be by recording all of the fun activities you do with your Buddy like walking, running, hiking, playing fetch. You can also record care activities like grooming, brushing, and even poop pick-up. You’ll get a running score on how you’re doing. It’s a fun and educational way to get your kids involved early in responsible pet care!

Get access to care guides that give you important information to help you find the best in care for your dog from what to look for when selecting various service providers, to finding the best food, to understanding pet insurance plans.

Fetch It

If you have trouble keeping important information like rabies certificates, vaccination records, or health records for your Buddy, no problem! We will contact your primary care veterinarian and upload your information straight into the Buddy Passport (three times per year).

We will contact additional providers, i.e. other historical veterinarians or specialists for an additional fee.

For Rescues

Gold Leash K9 provides basic service and support to rescues that need to manage and organize information for all dogs in their care. Rescue management can maintain a single digital record of important basic, health, and personality information that can be transferred with the dog from rescue to foster to their forever home.

For Service Providers

Our goal is to allow our users to select from a select list of only the best providers in their local area. Our initial list is based on a combination of publicly available ratings, certifications, and personal interviews. This search functionality is initially available in the Greater Los Angeles area and Miami, FL but we intend to include the top US markets for dog ownership within the next year. Our tool allows service providers to add relevant information about their services such as certifications, specialties, and unique skills.
