Veterinary Review Board: Our DVM Experts & Editorial Standards

Reviewed by Licensed Veterinarians | Updated Quarterly for Medical Accuracy

At Pet Advisory Board, we believe that every pet parent deserves access to trusted, veterinarian-approved information. Our Veterinary Review Board was created to ensure that all pet health, nutrition, and behavior content meets the highest possible standards of scientific accuracy, clarity, and compassion.

Every article published on our platform is reviewed and fact-checked for medical soundness, clarity, and alignment with current veterinary practices. Our commitment to E-E-A-T — Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness — drives everything we create and publish.

Who We Are

Our Veterinary Review Board represents a collective of licensed veterinarians, animal health specialists, veterinary technicians, and certified pet care professionals from various backgrounds in companion animal medicine, exotic animal care, nutrition, and behavior.

Each member contributes their professional experience and scientific insight to ensure that the information you read is up-to-date, evidence-based, and genuinely helpful for improving the lives of pets and their owners.

While our editorial team manages daily content production, our veterinary reviewers collaborate closely with our writers and editors to validate all medical statements, treatment references, and product recommendations before publication.

Our Review Process

We follow a multi-step editorial and veterinary review workflow designed to maintain absolute accuracy and transparency in all pet health content:

  • Research & Drafting – Our editorial writers begin with in-depth research from verified veterinary sources, including peer-reviewed journals, veterinary textbooks, and reputable institutions such as the AVMA, AAHA, and VIN.

  • Expert Consultation – Before publication, our medical statements, treatment options, and safety guidelines are cross-checked against current veterinary recommendations and clinical standards.

  • Fact-Checking – A dedicated fact-checking process ensures that all claims are backed by valid research, scientific consensus, or professional veterinary experience.

  • Veterinary Review & Approval – Each article undergoes a full veterinary review by members of our review board, confirming the accuracy of every health-related detail, dosage guideline, or behavioral explanation.

  • Periodic Updates – Our content is revisited every 6 to 12 months (or sooner if new research emerges) to incorporate the latest medical knowledge and product developments.

This multi-layered process allows us to uphold the same editorial integrity and reliability as leading veterinary resources worldwide.

Our Editorial Principles

The Pet Advisory Board’s editorial process is guided by five core principles:

  • Scientific Integrity – We rely exclusively on credible veterinary research and verified scientific data.

  • Transparency – Each article clearly cites its medical sources and outlines who reviewed it.

  • Objectivity – We do not promote any brand or product unless it meets strict quality and safety standards.

  • Accessibility – Information is written in a reader-friendly, compassionate tone, helping pet owners understand complex topics without confusion.

  • Continuous Improvement – We actively monitor new studies, guidelines, and veterinary trends to ensure all information stays relevant and responsible.

Our Promise to Pet Owners

We understand that pet care information can directly affect your animal’s health and happiness. That’s why we make this clear promise to every reader:
