Welcome to PawlyDaily — Where Pet Wisdom Gets Real
Hello there, fellow pet enthusiast! If you’ve ever found yourself Googling “why is my cat staring at the wall for hours” at 2 AM or debating whether that expensive dog bed is actually worth it, you’ve found your people.
PawlyDaily isn’t just another pet website churning out recycled advice. We’re the friend who’s been through three puppies, seven litter box disasters, and still somehow maintains enough sanity to tell you which pet insurance actually paid out when it mattered.
Why We Exist
Let’s be honest—the internet is full of pet content. But how much of it comes from people who’ve actually spent hours trying to coax a terrified rescue dog out from under the bed? Or someone who can tell you exactly which brands of “indestructible” toys their power-chewer demolished in under five minutes?
PawlyDaily was born from frustration. After years of reading generic pet advice clearly written by people who might never have owned the animals they were discussing, I decided pet owners deserved better.
We exist because:
- Pet owners need honest information, not just affiliate-driven recommendations
- Real experience matters when you’re making decisions about family members (yes, pets are family)
- The details count—whether it’s spotting early symptoms of illness or finding toys that actually survive playtime
- Every pet is unique—and advice should acknowledge this reality instead of offering one-size-fits-all solutions
The Human Behind the Paws
Hi, I’m Ethan—the founder, primary writer, and designated treat-giver behind PawlyDaily. My credentials? Fifteen years of pet parenthood including:
- Three dogs (including one very challenging rescue with anxiety issues who became the best dog ever)
- Four cats (ranging from a lap-loving purr machine to a feral-born ninja who took two years to trust me)
- A brief stint with pet rats who were smarter than some people I know
- More money spent at the vet than I care to calculate
What I lack in veterinary degrees, I make up for in lived experience and obsessive research. When my cat Luna developed mysterious symptoms three years ago, I spent two months researching, consulting four different vets, and eventually finding a solution that worked—then documented everything I learned.
I’m not afraid to admit when I’ve made mistakes, and some of our most popular articles come from my “what I wish I’d known” moments.
When I’m not writing for PawlyDaily, you’ll find me hiking with my current dog Max, trying to keep my plants safe from my cats, or photographing wildlife.
