Meet the Team
Last updated June 2026
PawProof is written by a small editorial team focused on practical dog and cat decisions: what goes in the bowl, what belongs in the house, what signs need a veterinarian, and which products make sense for a real household.
The team is small on purpose: a credentialed pet nutritionist, a certified dog behavior consultant, and a board-certified veterinarian. Health and safety pages are written by our veterinarian and built from veterinary and animal-welfare sources such as AVMA, AAHA, ASPCA, AKC, FDA, VCA, CAPC, and Merck Veterinary Manual, and they always defer medical decisions to the clinic that can examine your pet.
MS in canine and feline nutrition, author of Dog Food Logic. Covers dog, cat, and puppy food, feeding amounts, treats, AAFCO statements, and the numbers on the back of the bag.
Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC). Covers dog toys, beds, crates, carriers, collars, harnesses, litter setups, and cat furniture with safety and fit up front.
Veterinarian board-certified in emergency/critical care (DACVECC) and toxicology (DABT). Covers first aid, vaccination timing, flea and tick prevention, sick-dog warning signs, and when to call the vet now.
How the work moves
Each article starts with a specific owner question. The assigned writer gathers current source material, drafts the guide, checks internal links and product details, and flags any claim that needs a second source. A second pass looks for medical overreach, outdated prices, unclear caveats, and repeated phrasing across the site.
When a page touches health, vaccines, parasites, poisoning, symptoms, or emergency care, the page uses conservative language and points readers to a veterinarian. PawProof can help you prepare better questions. It cannot diagnose your pet.
We publish researched guidance, name the writer, show the date, avoid paid placement, and correct material errors openly. The full standard is in our editorial guidelines.
