Our Mission
At Trusty Pet Reviews, our mission is simple: to help pet owners make informed decisions about the products they purchase for their beloved companions. We believe that every pet deserves the best, and every owner deserves honest, reliable information.
Founded in 2025, we started this journey because we were frustrated with the lack of transparent, thorough reviews of pet products. Too many websites seemed to recommend products without actually testing them, or they'd gloss over important flaws just to make a sale.
We're different. We prioritize honesty, thoroughness, and the real needs of pets and their owners above all else.
Our Review Process
Every product featured on Trusty Pet Reviews goes through a comprehensive evaluation process:
Research
We start by researching the product specifications, manufacturer claims, and existing customer feedback.
Testing
We test each product with real pets in real-world conditions, often for several weeks to assess durability and long-term performance.
Analysis
We analyze the product's performance across multiple criteria including quality, value, durability, and pet satisfaction.
Review
We write detailed, honest reviews highlighting both strengths and weaknesses, with special attention to shipping times and origin.
Our Values
Honesty
We never sugarcoat our reviews. If a product has flaws, we'll tell you about them, even if it means losing a commission.
Thoroughness
We don't rush our reviews. Each product gets the time and attention it deserves to ensure our assessment is complete.
Independence
While we do earn commissions through affiliate links, we never let this influence our opinions or ratings.
Pet-First Approach
The well-being and happiness of pets is our primary concern when evaluating any product.
Our Focus on USA Shipping
We understand the frustration of ordering a product only to discover it will take weeks to arrive from overseas. That's why we prioritize reviewing products that ship from within the United States, offering reasonable delivery times and easier returns if needed.
For each product we review, we clearly indicate shipping origin and estimated delivery times, helping you make choices that align with your needs and expectations.
Affiliate Disclosure
Trusty Pet Reviews is reader-supported. When you purchase products through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help us continue our work of thoroughly testing and reviewing pet products.
However, we want to be absolutely clear: our opinions are never influenced by these commissions. We recommend products because we genuinely believe they're good, not because of the commission they might generate.
We often recommend products that earn us no commission at all, simply because they're the best option for certain pets or situations.
