About PetPalTheory

The site and the person behind it.

Who We Are

I’m Stephan Zanga. I have a dog named Maluco. Born in a litter of eleven, first on his feet, last to sit still. Large, mostly brown, and the kind of face that makes people stop on the street.

I’m not a vet. I read studies and report what I find.

Why This Site

I like animals, and I like doing things properly. PetPalTheory is the site I wanted to find, so I made it: for anyone who loves their dog and wants the honest answer, not the hyped one.

How I work

Every guide starts with the actual research, gets rated on the same evidence scale, and tells you plainly what helps and what doesn’t. If something isn’t worth your money, I say so. You can read exactly how I read the studies, rate the evidence, choose what to recommend, and handle affiliate links on the How we work page.
