Pet Posting Sites: 100 Places to Publish

Pet publishing splits into four tiers, and where you can land a byline depends on the credentials behind it, not the size of your list.

The major pet-media brands are vet-reviewed and mostly staff-written. The dog and cat verticals take contributions with the right expertise. The vet and insurance resources want licensed authors. The enthusiast blogs are wide open. The list of 100 is below, grouped roughly by tier.

Pick your tier first

Tier	Examples	How you get in
Major pet-media brands	Chewy, PetMD, The Spruce Pets, Rover, AKC, Petfinder	Mostly not guest posts. A contribution from a licensed vet, certified trainer or named credentialed expert
Dog & cat verticals	Dogster, Catster, iHeartDogs, K9 of Mine, The Labrador Site, PetGuide	Freelance and contributor pitches; how-tos, breed guides, product testing with hands-on detail
Vet & pet-insurance resources	Preventive Vet, Whole Dog Journal, ASPCA Pet Insurance, Embrace, Figo	Contributed pieces from vets, vet nurses and behaviourists; strict on health claims
Enthusiast & niche blogs	ThatMutt, Puppy Leaks, All Things Dogs, The Discerning Cat, PetPress	Open to contributions; first-hand experience, breed and product angles, personal stories

What the metrics mean

Metric	What it is	How much it matters
Domain Rating (DR)	Ahrefs' 0 to 100 score for a whole site's backlink profile	A useful filter, not a verdict
Domain Authority (DA)	Moz's equivalent 0 to 100 score	Same idea as DR
Page Authority (PA)	Moz's score for one specific page	Matters once you know which page your post will live on
URL Rating (UR)	Ahrefs' score for one specific URL	Same purpose as PA
Monthly Traffic	Estimated organic visits per month	The most honest signal that a link will be seen
Spam Score	Moz's 0 to 4 estimate of how many spam signals a site shows	In this niche, treat 3 to 4 as a reason to look closely before you pitch

Here is the deal: the pet niche is full of thin, ad-heavy blogs that all republish the same "15 human foods dogs can eat" article. A placement on a vet-reviewed brand or a vertical with real readers is worth more than a dozen of those, and it is the kind of link that survives an update.

The pitch that works for pet editors

Lead with the credential or the hands-on. "As a small-animal vet" or "I tested 9 no-pull harnesses on two large dogs over 6 weeks" earns the read.
Pitch the angle the staff missed. Not "how to crate-train a puppy." Something like "why crate training fails for rescue dogs, and what to do instead."
Bring your own assets. Photos of your animals, test results, before-and-after. Pet editors will not run stock imagery for a hands-on piece.
Match the tier's standard. Health pieces need a vet author or reviewer. Training pieces need a certification. Lifestyle pieces need real experience.
Send one clip in a similar style and your short bio.
Disclose any brand relationship up front, especially for food, supplements and insurance.

The test: would an editor run this if you had no product to promote? If yes, pitch it. If it is a walkthrough of your product's features, it goes in the bin.

What not to do

Pitch a generic "best dog foods 2026" listicle. Every site has a rolling one already, and health claims need a vet.
Send a health or nutrition piece with no veterinary author or reviewer. Serious pet sites will reject it.
Republish the same "foods dogs can and cannot eat" article that is already on 200 other blogs.
Stuff affiliate links, or point exact-match anchors ("best flea treatment") at your store.
Use AI-generated filler with no first-hand detail. In pet content it reads as generic within a paragraph.

Bottom line: a few placements on vet-reviewed brands and verticals with real readers will do more for your rankings and sales than a long list of thin pet-blog links. Use the Spam Score and traffic columns to find your few.

Frequently asked questions

Do the big pet brands like Chewy or PetMD accept guest posts?

Chewy's Be Chewy and Pet Central, PetMD, The Spruce Pets and Rover's blog commission from staff and a vetted freelance pool, and PetMD content is vet-reviewed. They will take a contribution from a licensed vet, a certified trainer or behaviourist, or a named expert with credentials. The dog and cat verticals and the enthusiast blogs are far more open.

What do I need to pitch a pet site?

For health and nutrition pieces, a veterinary or veterinary-nursing qualification, or a named vet reviewer. For training and behaviour, a recognised certification. For product and lifestyle content, hands-on testing with your own animals and your own photos. Pet is a soft-YMYL topic, so editors check credentials on anything health-related.

Can I link to my pet product or store?

Usually one disclosed link in the author bio, and only if the article is genuinely useful. Editors strip promotional links from the body and reject posts that read like a product page. Affiliate-stuffed content gets rejected fastest.

Which matters more, Domain Rating or the Spam Score?

Look at both, plus real editorial traffic. A DR 74 site with a Spam Score of 2 and a real audience beats a DR 78 site with a Spam Score of 4 that exists to trade links. In a niche this crowded with thin blogs, the Spam Score and the traffic column are the quickest way to filter.

The metrics do not match my SEO tool. Why?

Domain Rating, Domain Authority, traffic and Spam Score are recalculated constantly and differ between Ahrefs, Moz and Semrush. The pet niche churns fast and several sites here have changed owner. Re-check every site the week you plan to pitch it.

Want us to run the outreach?

We build the shortlist by tier and animal category, pair health pieces with a vet reviewer, write the pitches and the pieces, and place them on real pet publications. No link farms, no risk.
