In This Article

When it comes to your pet, you want the very best, especially in regards to their health care. We know that finding trustworthy veterinary advice online can be difficult—the internet is full of misinformation or personal opinion masquerading as fact. To make caring for your pet easier, we launched Pawlance Veterinary Review Board, comprised of top board-certified vet professionals. Our goal is to provide you with well-researched, fact-checked information so you can keep your pet happy and healthy.

Who Is On the Board?

Our board boasts experts with 100+ years of combined veterinary experience and a range of specialties, like cats and dogs, horses and equine care, aquatic animals, and exotics. These members have been hand-picked based on their impressive credentials and ability to communicate sometimes difficult or dense concepts to a broad audience.

Which Topics Are Reviewed?

Our editors work in tandem with our review board to fact-check and formalize our robust library of pet health articles that cover topics like diseases and conditions, spay and neuter surgeries, foods your pets can’t eat, life and reproductive cycles, behavioral issues, and treatment of injuries. Our review board assesses topics that affect your pet’s health, wellbeing, or routine so that you can feel confident in the information you’re receiving. Your pet’s health comes first, and we prioritize accordingly.

The Life Cycle of an Article

Each article is written by one of our accredited pet experts, including registered veterinary technicians and doctors of veterinary medicine. Then, we assign the article to the best-suited veterinary review board member, based on their specialties. From there, our reviewers read each article thoroughly, fact-checking and making edits for accuracy and relevancy. They pass the reviewed article back to our editorial team to read through for grammar, style, and reading comprehension. Finally, the article receives an official stamp indicating that it has been reviewed by a member of our veterinary review board. Our review board members’ extensive training and experience paired with our editorial know-how come together to give you and your pet the answers you need.

How Do I Know if an Article Was Reviewed?

You may notice a badge appearing at the top of some content pages. The badge signifies that a board member has reviewed and edited the article, taking special care to confirm that the information presented is both accurate and up-to-date.

The Pawlance’s Promise to You

Our team of editors and review board members strive to vet all on-site information to ensure it is as accurate and relevant as possible. And when we don’t immediately have the answer, we promise that we will research, test, and fact-check until we do. We don’t believe in diagnosing your pet over the internet, but we do believe in informing you to the highest degree possible so that you can make the best decision for your furry friend. Your pet’s well-being is important to us, and we’re here to help you resolve all your questions so that your pet can live their life to the fullest.

Ultimately, We’re Here to Support You
