About

Our mission

MyPet Blog is a free encyclopedic guide dedicated to pet animals. We publish practical articles, species sheets and care advice for everyday pet owners who want to look after their animals well.

Our current focus is building a thorough, reliable coverage of the domestic rabbit before gradually expanding to other species.

Editorial approach

Our articles are researched using sources appropriate to the subject. For health, risky feeding and prevention claims, we prioritise regulations, original research, veterinary manuals and publicly available veterinary or institutional resources. Our goal is to give clear answers without replacing professional veterinary advice.

For medical or sensitive topics, a veterinary disclaimer is always displayed.

References under “Sources” are those actually used for claims in the article. A block called “General references and limitations” only provides background reading: its presence does not mean that every claim on the page came from those links. Neither block constitutes medical validation.

Limits of our content

Articles published here are informational and educational. They do not replace a veterinary consultation, especially when a pet shows worrying symptoms. When in doubt, consult an exotic-pet veterinarian.

We do not claim veterinary validation when it has not taken place. If an article is ever reviewed by a veterinarian, that information will be stated explicitly in the article.

Who writes these articles?

MyPet Blog is an independent project whose publication director is Paul Abensour. Content is published under the editorial byline “MyPet Blog”, which links to this page. The project is run by pet owners with no veterinary training. We say so plainly: unless an identifiable veterinarian has actually reviewed a piece, we do not present it as medically validated.

What we bring is synthesis aimed at the practical decisions an owner must make. Sensitive figures and recommendations should be traceable to a displayed source; when evidence is insufficient, a claim should be qualified or removed. Any question of dosage is deferred to the veterinarian’s prescription.

Our full working method, sources and safety rules are set out in the editorial policy.

Why rabbits first

The domestic rabbit is one of the most poorly served pets: it is still widely housed, fed and treated according to outdated advice. It is also a fragile species, where a few hours’ delay changes the prognosis.

Building complete, cautious coverage of the rabbit before expanding to other species seemed more useful than skimming ten animals.

Our independence

The site is independently hosted and funded, with no affiliation to any brand, retailer, pet food manufacturer or clinic. No article is sponsored and no recommendation is paid for.

That independence is what makes it possible to write “this product is useless” when it is.
