If you love animals, you want to quickly know what’s really important: practical tips for dogs, cats, and small animals, new insights into animal health, easy-to-understand guides on care and maintenance, fascinating facts from the animal world, and important advice for pet owners. A new Google feature can help with this: Users can now specify which media they prefer to see in current search queries.

With the “Preferred Sources” feature, you can save your favorite sites on Google. For relevant news searches, articles from these sources can then appear more frequently and visibly in the “Headlines” section.

Read here how to select PETBOOK as a preferred source on Google and why it’s especially worthwhile for animal lovers.

How to Set PETBOOK as a Preferred Source

  1. Open Google and search for a current news topic, such as pets, animal health, dogs, cats, small animals, wildlife, or new studies from the animal world.
  2. The “Headlines” section will appear in the search results for relevant topics.
  3. Tap or click on the star icon next to “Headlines.”
  4. Search for PETBOOK or enter petbook.de.
  5. Select PETBOOK and refresh the search results.

Or even faster, directly via this link: You can select PETBOOK as a preferred source on Google here. 

Afterward, Google can show you articles from PETBOOK more frequently on relevant animal, pet, and service topics–such as dog care, cat behavior, animal health, nutrition, grooming, training, conservation, wildlife, or practical questions about living with pets.

Why Is It Worth It?

With PETBOOK as a preferred source, you miss less of the topics that can be important for animal lovers and pet owners. Those who regularly search for tips for dogs, cats, and more will find PETBOOK content on Google faster and more visibly.

This is especially helpful when new studies on animal behavior are being interpreted, experts provide tips on proper care, or important advice on health, nutrition, and grooming is needed. The feature can also be useful for anyone looking for exciting stories from the animal world, guides for everyday life with pets, or interesting facts about wildlife.

Important: The setting can be changed at any time. You can also select multiple preferred sources. Those who enjoy reading PETBOOK and want to find animal and pet topics on Google more quickly should save petbook.de as a preferred source.
