ZooToo calls itself a "social pet-working" service that connects pet-lovers all over. It is a unique site, that's for sure. Once you sign up you add your pets to your profile. I was impressed by the vast variety of animal types and breeds they provided during this process. Here are my two pets:
There are a great deal of useful features and services on the site. For example, when you enter your zip code ZooToo will be able to show you a map of all the pet related services in your area. This includes local vets, animal shelters, Animal rescue centers, groomers and many more. The other great thing about this feature is that they are all rated by other ZooToo members.
One of the best things about the site is the way that it engages the community to get involved with good causes such as Animal Shelter makeovers. They're gearing up for their second annual event that will helped out about 20 shelters last time around.
The social networking part of the site comes into play with the member profiles and groups feature. You can make friends with local pet-lovers according to your zip code. You can even search for people who like the same kind of pets that you do. For example, you can find fellow Poodle lovers who live close by. As for the groups feature, you can join a group for just about every kind of animal lover there is. These areas are helpful for pet related events, parties or fundraiser that you might want to conduct.
The Answers area provides a healthy amount of information for any pet question or concern you might have. It's like a Yahoo Answers for animals. It's a great way to learn more about your pets and how to take better care of them. You can also answer questions and become known as the resident expert on the subject because there's a rating system for all Q&A activities.
Speaking of rating systems, every member of ZooToo earns points for things they do on the site and in their own local community for pets. You earn more bonus points with everything you do online and offline for animals which is a nice way to encourage people to get more involved.
