About gobuildmy
Pet care journalism
built on integrity
gobuildmy is an independent online publication covering pet care, animal health, nutrition, training, and wellness. We exist to help pet owners make better decisions for their furry companions every day.
Who We Are
gobuildmy is an independent pet care publication founded in 2024. We publish explainers and practical guides covering the products, health topics, and care practices that matter to pet owners.
The site focuses on clear, accessible information that helps readers ask better questions and make informed decisions. Health content is educational and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified veterinarian.
Our Story
gobuildmy was launched in 2024 in response to a familiar problem for pet owners: it had become increasingly difficult to find clear, useful information about the products and care practices for our beloved companions. Marketing copy and search-optimized listicles had crowded out the kind of careful, hands-on reporting that helps people make confident decisions about their pets.
We started gobuildmy to fix that. Our editorial charter is intentionally narrow: we only publish content we can stand behind, we only review products we have actually used, and we only make recommendations we would be willing to act on ourselves. If we cannot test something properly, we say so.
Our coverage spans six core pet care categories. We remain committed to the principles that shaped the site at launch: accuracy, independence, and respect for the reader.
Our Foundation

Every article on gobuildmy moves through a documented editorial workflow designed to maximize accuracy and minimize bias.

Topic selection based on reader interest, industry relevance, and search trends.
Hands-On Testing

Editorial Review
Every piece is reviewed by a second editor for accuracy, clarity, and fairness.
Fact-Checking
All veterinary claims, nutritional data, and product specifications are verified against primary sources.
Publication & Updates
We publish, then revisit. Articles are updated as new research emerges, products evolve, and prices change.
Editorial Standards
Every article published on gobuildmy is the product of a multi-step editorial workflow designed to maximize factual accuracy, technical precision, and editorial independence. Our standards apply equally to news articles, product reviews, sponsored content, and opinion pieces.
Our fact-checking and review process includes:
- Hands-on testing of every product we review, over multiple days of real-world use.
- Independent verification of all technical specifications, pricing, and benchmark data.
- Review by a second editor with subject-matter expertise prior to publication.
- Clear labeling of sponsored content, affiliate links, and material relationships.
- Regular updates to published articles as products evolve and new information emerges.
- Prompt publication of corrections and clarifications when errors are identified.
- Strict separation between advertising and editorial decision-making.
We do not accept payment for product reviews, rankings, or editorial coverage. When a product has been provided to us by a manufacturer for review, we disclose that fact clearly in the article. Our opinions are our own and are never subject to approval by an advertiser or partner prior to publication.
