— Our advisory board
The vets behind PawBite.
Every product we sell and every article we publish is built to be reviewed by a licensed veterinarian — not as a logo on the footer, but as a person who reads the draft, flags the weak parts, and signs the page. We're pre-launch: contracts with our advisory vets are being finalized, and until a real name signs, our pages say “veterinary review pending” instead of pretending otherwise.
The board will be small on purpose. We'd rather have one vet who reads every article carefully than a wall of 12 names who skim.

More advisors coming.
We're adding specialists in dermatology and behavior in 2026 as we expand the editorial library. New names will land here once contracts are finalized.
— How it works
How our review process works.
No drive-by approvals. No copy-pasted disclaimers. Here's exactly what happens between a draft and a published page.
- 01
A staff writer drafts the article.
Our editorial team writes a first draft using published research, vet guidelines, and a strict source-citation rule: every claim with a number or a recommendation has to be traceable.
- 02
A reviewing vet reads the draft.
The reviewing vet reads the full draft and flags anything that is unsupported, oversimplified, or out of step with current standards of care. Comments are line by line.
- 03
We rewrite and re-cite.
Edits get folded in, sources get re-checked, dose ranges get verified against the cited studies. If a claim cannot be supported, it gets cut. We do not soften — we delete.
- 04
It gets a published timestamp.
Every page lists the publish date, last review date, and the reviewing vet by name. When the science updates, the page gets updated, re-reviewed, and re-stamped.
A note on what our vets do — and don't do. Our advisory vets review editorial content and product formulations. They are not seeing, diagnosing, or treating your specific dog. Nothing on this site is a substitute for an in-person veterinary exam. If your dog is unwell, please call your own vet.
