About

Tested Paws exists for one reason: most pet product advice online is opinion, and almost none of it tells you what a product has actually been tested for.

What we do

We take testing and registration data that is already public — published by independent councils, regulators and standards bodies — and turn it into tables you can read in under a minute. Which products hold a given acceptance. What claim that acceptance covers. What it does not cover. When it was granted.

What we do not do

• We do not test products ourselves. We are not a laboratory.
• We do not write “top 10” lists assembled from other people’s reviews.
• We do not feature a product because a brand asked us to. No brand has paid for placement on this site. If that ever changes, it will be labelled on the page it affects.
• We do not tell you a product is good. An acceptance seal is evidence that a product did something measurable under a defined protocol. It is not a verdict on whether it suits your animal.

Where our data comes from

Every table on this site names its source and the date we pulled it. Our current sources include the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) register of accepted products, and other public registers and datasets we add as we cover new categories. Where a body publishes a register, we link to it. Where it does not, we say so.

How we handle errors

Registers change. Products get discontinued, reformulated, or re-registered under a new company name. If a table here disagrees with its source, the source is right and we are wrong. Tell us and we will correct it and note the correction date on the page.

Independence

This site is run by one person. It is funded by advertising. Advertising has no influence on which products appear in a table, because the tables are copied from public registers — we do not choose the entries.

Medical disclaimer

Nothing on this site is veterinary advice. A product acceptance is not a treatment plan. If your animal has a health problem, see a veterinarian.
