Pet Lovers Companion offers Maryland, DC and Virginia area pet-related businesses many advantages over other forms of local advertising:

• Don’t Miss Your Potential Clients – The Yellow Pages, Newspaper and Coupon Mailers waste 50% of their distribution on non-pet owners. We are the only local publication that is 100% targeted to your potential clients.
• 1/4 of a Million Pet Owners Will Be Reached – At a fraction of the cost of traditional Yellow Pages with no wasted distribution.
• Nobody Reads The Yellow Pages For Fun – Our readers enjoy PLC’s informative articles, fun little factoids, poems, and stories. Your supporting advertisement is seen repeatedly because of the PLC’s editorial content and resource function. The NEW full color, magazine-quality glossy pages are designed for a full year of page-turning and reference!
• Long Shelf Life – Pet Lovers Companion is kept by pet owners as the definitive guide to their pet-related interests, which results in targeted repeat impressions and longevity for your business.
• Targeted, Expanded Distribution – Since its inception, over 800,000 copies of PLC have been distributed at more than 1000 high-traffic distribution locations. We are continuously adding new distribution sites near your business, giving your advertisement even more visibility!
