When we first started Itchmo in February 2007, it was just a hobby to share what we were doing with our dog around Seattle. Due to the needs of the Pet Food recalls, it quickly grew into a destination for all of us who needed information, support and each other.

Unfortunately, the time has come for us to put Itchmo on hold as we focus on the parts of our lives that we put on the back burner for the last year.

As a family, we decided that the ItchmoForums are self-sustaining and will continue, however Itchmo will no longer be updated on a regular basis. We were heartbroken over our decision, but it was inevitable as there just isn't sufficient income to maintain the level of posts that we'd like.

On the other hand, these forums have become a wonderful place for pet-lovers to hang out. We'll continue to support the forums. We thank all of you for visiting Itchmo, and hope that you will stick around and continue to make the ItchmoForums a wonderful place.

We will not be accepting any donations, if you do wish to make any donations to us, please consider making it to your local shelter.

Sincerely,

The Itchmos: Ben, Emily, Fil and Nemo
