About us

Pets don’t come with instruction manuals.

In Australia, they do come with very specific realities. Heatwaves. Paralysis ticks. Snake season. Bindii in paws. And a pet products aisle full of big promises.

AboutPets exists to make pet care simpler and safer. We publish straightforward guides and product comparisons built for real Australian households. The kind juggling work, kids, vets, and a dog who eats anything within reach.

What we do

We focus on two things.

Practical pet information that helps you make decisions quickly. Health, behaviour, nutrition, grooming, seasonal risks, and everyday safety.
Product guidance that explains what matters. Ingredients, materials, sizing, durability, safety features, and value.

How we cover products

We do not publish “top 10” lists just to fill a page. When we recommend something, we look for details you can check and use. What it is made of. How it is meant to work. What the brand claims. What owners report over time. Where possible, we include supporting sources and clear reasoning so you can decide for yourself.

We also call out common traps. Confusing labels. Vague ingredient wording. Flimsy construction. Products that sound great in theory but are annoying or unsafe in real life.

What makes us different

Australian-first lens: our content is written for Australian conditions and the problems Aussie pet owners actually deal with.
Clear, calm writing: no panic, no guilt, no preachy tone. Just useful guidance.
Transparency: we explain how we reached a conclusion, not just what to buy.

Our promise

We are here to help you look after your pet with confidence. That might mean choosing a safer shampoo, understanding a behaviour change, or getting your plan sorted before bushfire season.

We are not a substitute for your vet. If something feels urgent or off, professional advice is the right call.
