Our vet reviewers.

Articles in our Conditions and Surgery pillars are reviewed by a licensed veterinarian (DVM) before publication. The reviewer's name and credentials appear at the top of each medical article. We publish their reviewer profiles below as we onboard them.

Vet review program

We are actively building out our roster of reviewers. If you are a U.S.- or UK-licensed veterinarian — particularly a board-certified surgeon (DACVS), rehabilitation specialist (CCRP / DACVSMR), or sports-medicine practitioner — and you'd like to be considered, please reach out via our contact page.

What review involves

• Verifying that clinical claims match current peer-reviewed evidence.
• Flagging any guidance that conflicts with AAHA, ACVS, or breed-specific consensus.
• Adding clinically important caveats — drug interactions, contraindications, symptoms that warrant urgent care.
• Approving the final published version under their named credential.

Articles awaiting review

Articles tagged "Vet review pending" have been written and edited by our editorial team but have not yet completed independent veterinary review. We always note this status on the article header. Reviewer credit is added when the review is complete.

Editorial independence

Reviewers are paid a flat fee per article reviewed. They have no equity, no affiliate participation, and no involvement in product selection or scoring. Their job is to verify medical accuracy. If a reviewer flags a claim, we either correct it or remove the article — we don't publish over a vet's objection.
