About

Emily Johnson is a content writer specializing in the pet industry, with expertise covering pet health, pet products, pet training, pet insurance, and everyday living as a pet parent. She is an Arizona native but now resides in North Carolina with her rescue dog and two cats.

Experience

Emily is a regular contributing author with pet brands like PetMD, Chewy, Kinship, and Adopt-a-Pet, and her goal is to help educate fellow pet parents through accurate content and personal experience. She also rides and owns horses – and has been doing so for more than 25 years – volunteers and fosters with local rescues, and is extremely passionate about pet ownership and welfare. If she isn’t writing, you’ll likely find her reading a book with a cat on her lap, walking on the greenway with her dog, or at the barn with her horse.
