Learn About iPetsKC & Our Team

iPetsKC gathers everything for & about pets in Kansas City, then brings it straight to you. No more stressin’ about planning pet-friendly things to do or find reputable pet services for your furry companions…we’ve got you covered!

We’ve served the Kansas City metro community for +17 years with our sister publication,  iFamilyKC. So, 4 years ago we created iPetsKC to expand our resources to pet parents & their furry families!


Our publisher, Shawna Allen, is a huge animal-lover, so her heart was drawn towards pet resources & events.

She knew the struggle of finding a pet-friendly restaurant, or going to a shop (supposedly pet-friendly), only to be told, “no pets allowed”….

So, Shawna created the solution – iPetsKC. A one-stop-shop for all things pets in Kansas City.
