Orangeville.com reports that a new local magazine, Local Paws, has been launched to help pet owners discover professional services, stay informed, and enjoy articles and adorable photos.

A website, digital, and print editions are available. The magazine will come out twice a year.

Co-founder Sherry Rezvani said that she and co-founder, Faizal Jamal, wanted to help pet owners connect with professionals, after she struggled to find service providers for her cats.

The premier issue of LocalPaws, released early this year, for example, has a fun story for young pet aficionados and includes a colouring contest sponsored by a Kitchener/Waterloo.

The premier issue of Local Paws can be accessed for free online at localpaws.ca. LocalPaws is also on Facebook and Instagram. The magazine is available for $13.98 per year.
