About

Summary

Claudia Smargiasso is a freelance digital consultant and writer with a deep love of nature. She is a devoted meowma to her sweet boy, Dante, who spends his days sleeping and purring gently from the chair behind Claudia while she works. When she is not working, you’ll find her reading or going on walks. These walks are not a fitness pursuit, but an excuse to say hello to all the doggies she encounters walking their humans.

Pet Writing Experience

I started writing for Petcube in 2020 and have since become a regular contributor. Much of my previous writing experience has been in tourism where I’ve written mostly about safaris and wild animals that live on the plains of Africa, so this has been a fun change of pace for me.

While it’s important to me to write about conservation and protecting our wild places, it’s equally important to me to empower paw-parents with all the knowledge they need to take the very best care of their furkids.

Pet Passion Points

There’s something very healing about our relationship with the animals we bring into our lives. The day we invite these little furry angels into our homes, we are immediately changed.

Sure, we’ll no longer wear clothes unadorned with pet hair, and we’ll never snack alone ever again (not to mention pee alone), but our lives are blessed with peaceful purrs, joyful barks, slobbery kisses, gifts of dead birds, and boundless love and companionship. It’s the purest love of all.

In the words of Anatole France, “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.”
