Who we are

Cuddlia is an independent comparison site for dogs and cats. We compare products using verified customer reviews, technical specifications and publicly available testing — we never claim to have tested them ourselves.

Who is behind Cuddlia

Portrait of Cuddlia's founder

I've always had animals, ever since I was young. Over the years I realized how hard it can be to find your way through the multitude of products, brands and advice available everywhere.

That's what gave rise to this site: to bring together in one place everything you need to care for your animals and help you make the right choices, without getting lost.

The various menu sections have been designed to make navigation easier and help you quickly find the right product for your companions.

Enjoy your visit!

Our methodology

1. Scoping

We start from real owner questions and shortlist 8 to 15 products representative of the North American market.

2. Source gathering

We gather verified customer reviews, manufacturer spec sheets and publicly available testing. We do not run our own lab trials.

3. Comparison

Five criteria compared from available data: stated effectiveness, reported durability, animal comfort, ease of maintenance and total cost of ownership.

4. Updates

Prices and availability refresh automatically several times a day, and selections are revisited whenever the market changes.

Who writes on Cuddlia

Cuddlia is run by one person, supported by research tooling. Here is exactly who does what.

Simon

Founder, editor and publisher

Defines the analysis grid, picks which products make the cut, writes the in-depth guides and reviews every page before it goes live. Reachable directly through the site's contact form.

Data collection and formatting

Internal tooling that gathers verified reviews, spec sheets and public testing, then generates the product pages and comparison pages. It is not an author: nothing ships without editorial review.

Veterinary review

Open position

No veterinarian currently reviews our content, and we do not pretend otherwise. We are looking for a veterinarian or a certified trainer to review our health and behaviour guides: get in touch.
