About Mr Pet Lover

Why Mr Pet Lover exists

Most pet content online is one of two things: an SEO-spun page with no accountable author, or a thin product listing wrapped in generic care tips. We started Mr Pet Lover because we couldn't find a single trustworthy reference for the questions we ourselves were asking — *What does a Pembroke Welsh Corgi actually cost over 12 years? Which cat breeds are genuinely apartment-friendly? When should I worry about a new puppy's appetite?*

Everything we publish answers questions like those — with named editors behind each piece, sources cited, and the cost or trade-off made explicit. We are not a veterinary clinic and never pretend to be. We are a pet-owner publication that does the homework, names the limits, and points you to a vet for medical decisions.

What we publish

Breed profiles — comprehensive coverage of 354+ dog and cat breeds, including temperament, care needs, common health issues, costs, and history. Each profile is reviewed against AKC, FCI, and CFA breed standards, and the breed-specific health and care guidance is cross-referenced against ASPCA and AVMA resources.

Care guides — practical, day-one to senior-stage guidance covering nutrition, grooming, training, exercise, and routine health. These are written for the owner, not the vet; we tell you what we do, what we have read, and where you should phone your veterinarian instead of reading another article.

Cost analyses — itemised, multi-year cost-of-ownership breakdowns we wish had existed when we adopted our own pets. These are decision tools, not marketing.

Pet stories — first-person accounts from real owners, lightly edited, with the owner's name attached.

Quizzes and breed-finder tools — interactive tools that map your living situation, activity level, and household to breeds that genuinely fit.

Who is behind the site

Mr Pet Lover is published by a small team. Every piece you read carries a named editor in the byline — there is no anonymous "admin" content.

• [Angel Lequiron](/authors/angel-lequiron) — Founder & Chief Pet Lover. Angel personally reviews every breed page and every high-traffic article for factual accuracy and practitioner-level usefulness. She has been writing about dog and cat breeds, care, and behavior for pet owners since 2025.
• [Diosh Lequiron](/authors/diosh-lequiron) — Systems Architect & Builder. Diosh contributes systems, governance, and operating-model perspective to selected articles (notably the cost-of-ownership analyses) and built the editorial and content-review infrastructure that runs behind this site.

The full list of contributors lives on the Editorial Team page.

How we work — our editorial standards

1. Every article is attributed to a named editor. No syndicated copy, no anonymous "team" bylines on care or breed content. If a piece does not name a human in the byline, treat it as a draft we have not yet published.
2. Sources are cited or referenced. For breed traits we cross-check AKC, FCI, and CFA. For care and behavior we reference ASPCA, AVMA, and AAFP guidance. For cost figures we cite the underlying surveys (APPA, vet pricing studies) and link them in-line where they appear.
3. We do not give veterinary advice. Mr Pet Lover content is reviewed *against* AKC / ASPCA / AVMA guidance — not in place of veterinary advice. For medical decisions, contact your veterinarian.
4. Affiliate transparency. When a link is affiliate, we say so. When a product is recommended, the recommendation reflects our actual research — not the commission rate. The full affiliate disclosure lives in our Disclaimer.
5. Corrections policy. If you find an inaccuracy, email contact@mrpetlover.com with the subject "Correction". We update the article, log what changed, and bump the "Last updated" date on the page. Corrections are a feature, not an embarrassment.
6. AI-assisted, human-edited. Some research and drafting steps use AI tooling. Every article is reviewed and approved by a named editor before publishing, and the editor — not the tool — is accountable for what appears on the page.

What we don't do

• We do not publish veterinary diagnoses or treatment recommendations.
• We do not invent credentials. Our reviewers are named editors, not fabricated DVMs.
• We do not run sponsored content disguised as editorial. Sponsorships, when they happen, are clearly labelled.
• We do not write breed pages we have not researched. Every breed profile is built from the underlying breed standards and verified care guidance — not paraphrased from another site.
• We do not pretend the cheapest food or the most expensive insurance is automatically the right call. Trade-offs get explained.
