Answers to the questions we get asked most about how PetsFather works.

Explore PetsFather

Is PetsFather written by veterinarians?+

No. PetsFather is written by pet owners and researchers, not licensed veterinarians. We write practical, well-researched care content, but we always recommend contacting a licensed vet for anything related to your pet's health or medical care.

How does PetsFather make money?+

Through Google AdSense advertising and the Amazon Associates affiliate program. If you buy a product through one of our links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.

Do affiliate links affect your recommendations?+

No. We choose what to recommend based on what's actually useful for the pet and situation described, not based on commission rates.

How often is content updated?+

We revisit guides periodically to keep pricing context, product picks, and care information current — you'll see an 'Updated' date on every guide.

Can I suggest a topic or pet category?+

Yes — use the Contact page. We're actively expanding coverage across all the categories we cover.

Do you test every product you recommend?+

Not every product is hands-on tested. We're upfront about this — recommendations are based on published specs, owner and expert reviews, and category research, not fabricated first-hand testing claims.

What pets does PetsFather cover?+

Dogs, cats, birds, fish and aquarium pets, reptiles and amphibians, small pets like rabbits and hamsters, horses, exotic pets, backyard chickens and ducks, and insects and invertebrates.
