About PetGearIndex
PetGearIndex is a specification database for pet gear. Every value on the site stores where it came from and when it was last checked, and a value without both of those cannot be published — the build stops instead.
Why it exists
The questions people actually type — no subscription, works without Wi-Fi, wet food, enough for three cats — are product attributes. A list written once answers one of them. A database answers all of them from the same data, and can be corrected when a manufacturer changes a model.
Who maintains it
PetGearIndex is compiled and maintained by Maren Penhale .
Maren keeps the database current: adding products, re-checking sources against manufacturer pages and manuals, and correcting values when a model changes. Every entry published here was read by a person before it went live.
Maren Penhale is a pen name. The person behind it does not claim professional credentials in veterinary care or product engineering, and the site does not rely on any: what backs the data is the source link and the check date next to every value, which you can verify without knowing anything about the author.
What this site does not do
- No product is bought, handled, or operated by anyone working on this site.
- No ranking is presented as a personal judgement about which product is best.
- Missing data is shown as missing, never filled in with a guess.
The methodology page sets out the sourcing rules in detail.
