Fact-Checking: Our Process

At EasyPet, we personally test nearly every product featured in our reviews and guides. This hands-on approach allows us to provide accurate, data-driven recommendations for food, gear, services, and other pet essentials.

Guidelines for our testing methodology are as follows:

We only cite reputable sources when researching our guides and articles. These include peer-reviewed journals, government reports, academic and medical associations, and interviews with credentialed pet experts and practitioners.
All scientific data and information must be backed up by at least one reputable source. Each guide and article includes a comprehensive bibliography with full citations and links to the original sources.
Some guides and articles feature links to other relevant EasyPet pages. These internal links are intended to improve ease of navigation across the site, and are never used as original sources for scientific data or information.
A member of our expert team provides a final review of the content and sources cited for every guide, article, and product review concerning medical- and health-related topics. Inaccurate or unverifiable information will be removed prior to publication.
Plagiarism is never tolerated. Writers and editors caught stealing content or improperly citing sources are immediately terminated, and we will work to rectify the situation with the original publisher(s).
Although EasyPet maintains affiliate partnerships with brands and e-commerce portals, these relationships never have any bearing on our product reviews or recommendations. Read our full Advertising Disclosure for more information.
