Match Made in Kibble

I’ve been familiar with Dogster for a while now, but a new partnership with Simply Hired has taken their idea to a new level. Now a separate page on the Simply Hired website allows for someone to peruse dog friendly ads only. And on the front page of Dogster, there is a search tool that redirects to the same page. *Great* concept – I think this is fantastic.

Only thing is, they should make it a little clearer that this search is only available for people looking for a job in the US, at least for now. I tried "Toronto, ON" and my postal code, nothing. Dogster’s population is definitely made up mostly of all American dogs (124,297 dogs vs. the next highest number of 7731 dogs in Canada). Yeah, sounds like I’m being a stickler, but I really think that this is an important distinction to make because so many people who don’t qualify will be disappointed. Rather than disappointment, what if there was a "Sorry, US locations only" note for now (so I shrug, still wishing it worked for me too) but then when the "New! Simply Hired for Canada and…" I’ll take a little more notice. Just my preference.

I hope a lot of people get the job of their dreams for both them and their pooch.

    Thanks Dave! I’ll be on the lookout for a wee Canadian flag next to the search box!
