About PetsStart.com
Our mission is to arm you with the truth behind the common beliefs, myths, and "facts" you hear about your beloved pets every day.
In a world overflowing with information, it's harder than ever to distinguish fact from fiction, especially when it comes to our furry, scaly, and feathered friends. We are constantly bombarded with claims about pet care, behavior, and health from friends, family, social media, and online articles. Some are true, some are misleading, and some are outright myths that have been repeated for generations. That's where PetsStart.com comes in.
Our Mission
Our goal is simple: to provide clear, well-researched, and unbiased answers to the questions you've always wondered about regarding pets. We tackle the common knowledge you take for granted and put it under the microscope. Do goldfish really have a 3-second memory? Is a dry nose a sure sign a dog is sick? We believe that curiosity about your pets should be rewarded with credible, easy-to-understand information, helping you provide the best care.
Our Process
Every article on PetsStart.com follows a strict process to ensure accuracy and clarity:
- Question Selection: We identify common beliefs, popular myths, and frequently cited "facts" that are prevalent in the pet community.
- Deep Research: Our team dives into scientific studies, veterinary journals, animal behavior research, and expert interviews to find the real story. We prioritize primary sources and credible, peer-reviewed evidence relevant to pets.
- Verdict & Explanation: We present a clear verdict—Fact, Myth, or Debatable—and then explain the reasoning in straightforward language. We break down complex topics so that every pet owner can understand the evidence.
- Source Citation: We believe in transparency. At the bottom of each article, we list our primary sources so you can explore the topic further and verify our findings for yourself.
