Doctors Foster and Smith Debuts 'Backyard Kids,' First in a Series of Online Educational Resources for Children

Rhinelander, WI (PRWEB) November 1, 2007 -- Doctors Foster and Smith has always been known as a preeminent resource on pet information for pet owners and now the company is reaching out to create unique learning environments for its smallest animal enthusiasts -- children.

Founded by two veterinarians who stay highly involved with the educational side of their business, Doctors Foster and Smith is debuting "Backyard Kids," the first in a series of educational resources just for children on its website. "Backyard Kids" was created by the company's Wild Bird Division to help youngsters enjoy the beautiful and fascinating world of wild birds - in language and graphics kids can understand.

"Backyard Kids" delivers many kid-friendly tips and articles for how to feed and identify wild birds. It also features games and quizzes to help children get to know their backyard friends better. To experience "Backyard Kids," go to: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?c=9089&aid=1944 .

"We believe that kids will find 'Backyard Kids' a fun, exciting and engaging exploration of the birdlife around them, something that they may have taken for granted in the past," said Dr. Race Foster. "These pages will help them grow an appreciation for the wildlife that they interact with daily. The resource is a great tool for educators, as well."

Along with the company that is now the largest provider of pet products and pet prescriptions on the Internet and via catalogue, Dr. Foster and his partner, Dr. Marty Smith, created the educational website PetEducation.com for the sole purpose of helping pet owners better understand and care for their pets.

With the advent of "Backyard Kids," Doctors Foster and Smith is extending its pro-education philosophy to their younger readers. Parents and their offspring can soon expect to see Doctors Foster and Smith "kid sections" in each of the company's animal specialty categories.

Said Dr. Smith: "These are great ways for kids to get more involved in the care and husbandry of animals - of all kinds."
