About Us
Origin Story: PetFoodReviews.online was born in 2021 from a heartbreaking yet transformative experience. Sarah Mitchell, working as a veterinary technician in Portland, Oregon, watched helplessly as her beloved Golden Retriever, Buddy, developed severe digestive issues that multiple vets struggled to diagnose. After months of expensive treatments and dietary trials, she discovered that a simple switch to a higher-quality, limited-ingredient diet completely resolved his problems.
The Turning Point: Frustrated by the lack of reliable, unbiased pet food information available to consumers, Sarah began meticulously researching and documenting her findings. She partnered with Dr. James Rivera, a veterinarian who shared her passion for preventive nutrition care, and together they launched the blog from Sarah’s kitchen table with a simple mission: no pet parent should have to navigate the confusing world of pet nutrition alone.
Growth & Evolution: What started as a weekend passion project quickly grew into a trusted resource when their comprehensive review of grain-free diets went viral in pet parent Facebook groups. By 2021, they had reviewed over 200 pet food products and built a community of 50,000+ monthly readers. The site expanded to include guest experts, brand partnerships (while maintaining editorial independence), and specialized content for pets with medical dietary needs.
Mission & Values: Today, PetFoodReviews.online stands as an independent voice in pet nutrition, accepting no payment for reviews and maintaining strict editorial standards. Their core values center on transparency, scientific accuracy, and the belief that every pet—regardless of their family’s budget—deserves access to proper nutrition information. They donate 10% of their affiliate earnings to local animal shelters and continue to advocate for clearer pet food labeling standards industry-wide.
