Support PetScored.

PetScored is independent and bootstrapped. No manufacturer money, no investors, no paid tier yet. If the rubric is useful to you, here are the three ways you can help before we build a real paid product.

01 · Free

Share PetScored with a worried pet parent.

The single most useful thing right now is reach. Send a friend a scorecard. Post a best-for list in the breed group you read. Reply to the next dog-food question on Reddit with a PetScored link instead of an anecdote. We are independent, which means we need real readers to compound - not paid distribution.

Get the PetScored briefing.

New scores, what we re-checked, and what we learned reading labels. It goes out on no fixed schedule, and it is a general briefing rather than an alert service: we do not promise to email you when a particular brand is recalled. If we ever build a real per-brand alert, we will say so here before asking anyone to rely on it. Free, no spam.

03 · Coming soon

Tip jar.

A real tip jar (Stripe Payment Link, no signup needed) is coming. When it’s live, this is where it lives. Until then, the share and the recall-alert signup are worth more than a few dollars anyway.

What we will not do

Compromise the rubric.

Even when there is a paid tier, no support mechanism - donation, subscription, affiliate revenue - will affect a sub-score, a verdict, or a best-for ranking. The receipts are public; the rubric is versioned in the changelog. If we ever change the funding posture, the change lands on /trust first.
