ABOUT US

We’re on a mission to make a more pet-inclusive world, wherever you live, work, travel, stay, or play

As pet parents ourselves, we understand the joys and challenges of caring for furry family members. That’s why we’ve built a trusted resource hub backed by veterinary expertise to support you through every stage of your pet’s life.

What We’re All About

Trust Through Expertise

No Dr. Google here! Every piece of advice comes from actual veterinarians and certified pet pros who know their stuff (and yes, they also enjoy cat videos in their spare time).

Pets First, Always

If we wouldn't give it to our own pets, we won't recommend it to yours – even if someone waves a big check in our face. Think of us as your pet's overprotective friend.

Accessibility for All

Quality pet care advice shouldn't be complicated or exclusive. Whether you're a first-time fish parent or a seasoned show dog trainer, we've got your back.

Unwavering Integrity

We'll always be upfront about how we make money and why we recommend certain products. Just like that friend who tells you when you've got spinach in your teeth.

Evidence-Based Innovation

That crystal-infused dog water might be trending, but we're more interested in what science has to say. We're nerdy about research, and proud of it!

Community-Focused

We're creating a world where pets and their people thrive everywhere – from your living room to the local dog park. Because pet people are the best people.
