01 — What we publish

Three formats, one editorial standard.

Each format answers a different question a new pet parent asks in the first twelve months. All three are produced by the same research desk.

Format one

City guidebooks

A city-specific first-year handbook: what changes week by week, what the local calendar looks like, and which parts of pet parenthood are decided by where you live.

Browse guidebooks

Format two

Annual data reports

Our yearly read on the local shape of pet ownership — what changed, what held steady, and which numbers a new owner should actually pay attention to. Sources and method notes are printed with every report.

Read the reports

Format three

Resource directories

Curated, category-by-category listings for one city, re-checked on a published schedule. A directory entry is a research record — never a paid placement, and never a referral.

02 — Editorial process

How a title is made.

Four gates stand between an idea and a printed edition. Nothing passes without clearing all four.

  1. 01

    Commission local contributors

    We open a city file and invite credentialed local professionals in the relevant categories to write the sections they are qualified to write.

  2. 02

    Verify every credential

    Licences, registrations and certifications are checked at source and re-checked before each new edition. We record the date of every check.

  3. 03

    Fact-check and cite

    A separate checking pass confirms names, dates, figures, and quoted regulations against primary sources. Unverifiable claims are cut.

  4. 04

    Publish, then revise

    Every title carries an edition number and a revision date, so readers always know how current the page in front of them is.

03 — Editorial standards

The three commitments behind every page.

Read the full methodology

Credential verification

Contributors are chosen for documented local credentials, not for reach or follower counts. Verification happens at source, on a schedule.

Fact-checking

A checker who did not write the section confirms every checkable claim against a primary source. Findings are logged with the manuscript.

Sponsor independence

Sponsors fund editions; they never edit them. Every sponsored title carries a disclosure of who paid and what that did — and did not — buy.

06 — The imprint letter

One email when a title is published.

New city editions, annual data reports, and revision notices — no more than a handful of emails a year.
