Dogs, cats and other pets
Understand before you buy, and care better every day
Practical content about care, daily life and choosing products for dogs, cats and other pets. Clear criteria, no hype, and no pretending to expertise we do not have.
We publish little and keep it current. Every article says what it is based on, who wrote it and when it was last reviewed.
Where to start
- Dogs Walking, home, travel, grooming and enrichment for dogs. Criteria before brands, and plenty of content where the answer is to buy nothing at all.
- Cats Litter box, water, scratching posts, transport and home safety for cats, with a focus on flats and small spaces.
- Other pets Habitat, transport and enrichment criteria for rabbits and small animals, and why this section moves more slowly on purpose.

How we work
-
Criteria first, product second
Most of what we publish carries no commercial link at all. When it does, the link comes last and only if the product survives the criteria we explain first.
-
We say what we do not know
We do not lab-test products and we have no veterinarians on the team. We work from verifiable specifications, and we say so in every article.
-
Everything is dated
When it was written, when it was updated and when it is due for review. If we correct a mistake, the correction stays visible.
How we make money
Some articles include affiliate links. If you buy through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. When an article has them, it says so up front, before the first link.
Commissions do not decide what we recommend, and most of our content carries no commercial link at all. Affiliate disclosure.
