What We Publish

Four kinds of pitches we say yes to

If your pitch fits one of these categories and you can bring real expertise or first-hand experience, we want to hear from you.

Vet & Behaviorist Insights

Evidence-based pieces on diagnosis, treatment, preventive care, or training science. Credentials required.

First-Person Stories

Rescue journeys, senior pet care, training transformations, grief and loss. Honest, specific, never saccharine.

Hands-On Product Tests

You used the product with a real pet for at least two weeks, documented results, and have photos. No unboxings.

Deep-Dive Guides

How-to content that goes beyond surface-level advice — breed profiles, nutrition comparisons, behavioral training.

Submission Guidelines

Before you pitch, please read these carefully.

  • Original work, not published anywhere else (no republishing from your own blog)
  • 800–2,000 words for features, 1,500–3,000 for deep-dive guides
  • Cite sources for health and behavior claims — studies, vets, trainers with credentials
  • Include a short author bio (1–2 sentences) and, if relevant, your credentials
  • Original photography preferred. If licensed, tell us the source.
We review every pitch. If it's a fit, you'll hear back within 5–7 business days with next steps. We can't reply to every submission individually — if you don't hear back, the pitch wasn't right for us this time.

Who You'll Be Writing For

Committed pet owners, not casual readers

Petful's audience is dog and cat owners who take their responsibilities seriously. They come to us for specific, actionable answers — symptoms, product decisions, training problems, rescue guidance.

They aren't here for clickbait. They're here to solve a problem. Write like you're helping one of them.
