A Trusted Name in KC Since 2003
We’ve proudly served the Kansas City metro since 2003 through our flagship community, iFamilyKC, a trusted resource for local families.
In 2019, we expanded that mission with iPetsKC, focused entirely on the needs of pet parents and their four-legged family members.
Our founder and publisher, Shawna Allen, is a lifelong animal lover who knows how hard it can be to find truly pet-friendly places. After running into “no pets allowed” signs one too many times, she decided Kansas City needed a one-stop resource for everything pet-related.
And iPetsKC was born.
