Cat Fancy (1-year)


A little disappointing3

I received a subscription of Cat Fancy as a gift from a friend who knows I'm a cat lover. More often than not though I find myself disappointed with the magazine especially after I've finished reading it. The magazine mainly consists of a heartwarming story or two a page of new products for cats or cat lovers a breed profile and a couple feature stories about selected topics (e.g. kittens older cats some medical condition). About a quarter of the magazine is comprised of ads for breeders.

Most of the time the articles don't relate to my cats and when I do see something interesting the article turns out to be pretty vague. For example there was an article on alternative/natural cat litters. The article listed a few different types of litter but there was no information on the benefits or drawbacks of each kind. The gist of the article was pretty much: X Y and Z are different litters look them up and see what's best for you. Most of the information in the magazine is either too general or too specific. I won't be renewing my subscription but I would probably buy off the newsstand if I saw an article that applied to my cats.

As a cat magazine it's OK but compared to magazines in general it's not that great.More detail ...

Dog Fancy (1-year)


Terrific Magazine for the Dog Lover5

I have been getting this magazine since 1986 and enjoy every issue. It is always packed full of useful information on dogs. It not only covers the purebred dogs but mixed breeds as well. Each month there is at least one featured breed of dog and a poster to accompany it. It also includes advertisement for "doggy" things breeders ads and AKC show schedules.More detail ...
