We've been receiving some very nice comments, here at the PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance blog. Of course, we're excited about that. Bloggers live for comments, as many of you already know, I'm sure.

However, many of you may have noticed that we are not publishing your comments. Here's why...and how to guarantee that your comment will be published:

This blog is the property of Nestle' Purina, and as such, there are specific terms and conditions we ask you to agree to. As well as guidelines not only for what gets posted here, but for what we can publish in the comment section. This is not an attempt to censor anyone! Many brands that blog require login of some sort, to maintain a focus on the topic at hand, and to guarantee commenters the politeness of a discussion, not a rant. For instance, this media site spells out their terms and conditons for all to review.

Dr. Larry McDaniel, who helps me with the Scratchings and Sniffings blog, is the "person" behind this blog, representing PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance. I am privileged to be on the team that helps write content and manage the design of this blog, along with reviewing all comments. Both Dr. Larry and I encourage and invite comments to our posts, but we hope you will also abide by the rules created for posting comments.

When you add a comment, you will be asked to click a box that assures us you are aware of the terms and conditions for posting user-generated content on this blog and that you agree with them. If you do not click the box, I cannot publish your comment, no matter how innocent.

IF you do not see the box, please email me and let me know. We are committed to engaging our readers in open conversation, so we have tried to make it easy for you. In the event that the issue is at OUR end, I would appreciate a head's up. Thank you for helping make this blog a true focus on the health and welfare of our pets.
