The US city of St. Louis, Missouri, recently launched www.explorestlouis.com/pets to become a more pet friendly city.

"The launch of this site will assist pet lovers in planning a trip or vacation to St. Louis area with their pets," said Kitty Ratcliffe, president of the St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission.

The site is organized in a series of chapters and is filled with a variety of articles and pet-related topics from how to travel with pets to a calendar listing of all the pet-related activities in St. Louis.

According to some industry players, pet food label modernization (PFLM)-related changes are estimated to cost the pet food industry more than $1 billion in updates to comply with the new requirements.
