Pet Living Product Recognition
Our proposed standards for independent, evidence-based pet product recognition.
Recognition should mean something
Pet Living is preparing an annual recognition framework for pet technology, grooming, travel, toys, bedding and useful innovation. No awards have been issued and no paid entries are being accepted.
The evaluation we require
- Identify the exact model, category, intended user and manufacturer claims.
- Document sample terms, financial relationships and evaluator qualifications.
- Set criteria before assessment: animal suitability, usability, care requirements, limitations, cost transparency and relevant evidence.
- Perform and document appropriate hands-on evaluation; research alone must be clearly labeled.
- Publish the methods, limits and reason for recognition. A sponsorship cannot purchase a favorable finding.
Manufacturers may submit product information for editorial consideration. Recognition categories and dates will be announced only when the documented evaluation process is ready.
