Whether it’s our favorite dog food delivery services to feed your pups or the best pet supplements to keep Fido healthy, we don’t just recommend products based on specs or brand claims—we actually use them with our own pets. Our team is made up of lifelong pet owners, pet entrepreneurs, and product reviewers who have spent years testing, comparing, and analyzing pet products in real homes.
While a veterinarian’s opinion is valuable for understanding health and safety, they may not have personally used an automatic litter box, put a GPS tracker through its paces in a multi-pet household, or tested an automatic feeder in the daily chaos of a real pet home. This is where the rubber meets the road. Understanding the ins and outs, nuances, and real-world practicality of these products—how reliable, efficient, and durable they truly are—is where we excel.
Our Testing Process: What Sets Us Apart
To ensure we’re bringing you the most honest, practical, and experience-driven recommendations, we evaluate products based on:
✔️ Real-World Testing – We don’t just unbox a product and read the manual; we use it for weeks or months in homes with real pets. For example:
- For dog food and supplements: We start by only choosing brands that meet our own strict standards. If we won’t feed it to our dogs, we don’t recommend it to you. Once we’ve vetted the brand itself, we test dog’s response to each food to make sure they’ll actually eat it (because even the best ingredients are useless if Fido won’t touch it).
- For GPS trackers: We’ve seen firsthand which trackers stay securely attached to various collar types and which ones easily fall off during rough play. We also know which models maintain reliable tracking in wooded areas vs. those that struggle with signal loss.
- For automatic feeders: We’ve tested which feeders prevent food jams (and which ones fail when kibble size is slightly off), as well as which apps provide true remote feeding control versus just preset schedules.
- For pet water fountains: We’ve observed how often filters actually need to be changed to prevent slime buildup, and which models are easiest to clean without tiny, hard-to-reach parts that trap bacteria.
✔️ Durability & Pet-Friendliness – If a product isn’t built to last or if our pets won’t use it, we tell you. We’ve learned which pet fountains stay silent and don’t scare dogs away, which interactive toys hold up to repeated play, and which automatic feeders still dispense food reliably after months of use.
✔️ Ease of Use – Some pet gadgets look great on paper but are frustrating to set up. We test how intuitive they are for real pet owners. Can you set it up in 5 minutes, or does it require multiple troubleshooting steps? If a pet feeder’s app is glitchy or a GPS collar setup is too confusing, we’ll let you know.
✔️ Long-Term Performance – We check how well products hold up over time—because pet parents need solutions that last. We don’t just test a new gadget for a week; we check whether it’s still functioning months later, even with daily use.
✔️ Honest Pros & Cons – No product is perfect, and we don’t sugarcoat the downsides. If something has a flaw, we’ll let you know, whether it’s a GPS tracker with weak battery life or a dog fountain that’s too noisy for night use.
