Meet the Pets

Several of our guides started with a problem one of our own animals handed us. These are the four who keep us busy.

Kotaro 🐕

Dog, 15 years old. At fifteen, what goes in Kotaro’s bowl matters more every year. Working out what fresh food subscriptions actually contain, and what they really cost per day, is how our fresh dog food guide began.

Ann, Caramel and Ruru 🐈🐈🐈

Three cats, one household, and a lot of litter. Keeping boxes clean for all three every day is what sent us looking at self-cleaning models, and why our automatic litter box guide pays close attention to how each one handles more than one cat.
