Write for Paws & Spells
Share what you know. Help pets and their people.
We welcome U.S.-based writers, veterinary professionals, pet care specialists, and pet businesses who want to contribute practical, well-supported articles for pet owners.
Whether you have professional experience, useful research, or firsthand knowledge to share, we’d love to hear your ideas.
What We Welcome
Our website focuses on cats, dogs, and small companion animals. Suggested topics include:
- Everyday care, behavior, and enrichment.
- Welcoming a new pet and caring for senior pets.
- Preparing for veterinary visits and organizing care routines.
- Pet safety, travel, and emergency preparedness.
- Helping families meet their pets’ needs and stay together.
- Useful pet products, tools, and resources.
Articles should provide clear, helpful information. Product-related contributions are welcome when they explain practical benefits and limitations rather than simply advertise.
What You Receive
Accepted articles include your name, a short author biography, and an agreed link to your professional website, business, or social profile.
We also consider relevant business and affiliate links. This gives contributors an opportunity to introduce their work, reach readers, and benefit from approved commercial links.
Our audience is growing, and we do not guarantee views, sales, inquiries, or future work.
A Free Contribution Program
Contributing is free. We do not charge a publication fee for accepted articles under this program, and we do not pay contributors for their submissions.
You share useful content, and we provide editorial review, publication, and author recognition.
Submitting an idea or article does not guarantee publication.
Business and Affiliate Links
You may propose links to your business, products, services, or affiliate offers. Please explain which links are commercial, whether you earn a commission, and whether you represent a featured business.
All links must be relevant to the article and approved before publication. Affiliate links must also be permitted by the applicable program for use on our website.
Eligible commissions from your approved affiliate links belong to you. Eligible commissions from Paws & Spells’ affiliate links belong to Paws & Spells. There is no automatic revenue-sharing arrangement.
If we propose adding our own commercial links to your contribution, we will agree on them with you before publication.
Commercial relationships will be disclosed to readers. We may apply appropriate link attributes and do not guarantee links that pass search-ranking credit.
Content Guidelines
Please submit work that:
- You created or have permission to provide for publication.
- Offers useful information for a U.S. audience.
- Supports factual claims with reliable, relevant sources.
- Describes your experience and qualifications accurately.
- Clearly separates personal experience from professional guidance.
- Includes only images or other materials you have permission to share.
You do not need to be a veterinarian to contribute. However, veterinary credentials and other professional titles must be verifiable. Publication does not imply that an article has received veterinary review.
Please tell us if your article has already appeared elsewhere. Promotional relationships, gifted products, and other potential conflicts of interest should also be disclosed.
Copyright and Publication
You retain copyright to your original work.
When you approve publication, you grant Paws & Spells non-exclusive permission to publish the agreed article on our website and use credited excerpts to promote it. You remain free to publish your work elsewhere, subject to any separate agreements you have made.
Publication on Paws & Spells does not give other people permission to copy or republish your article. These contribution terms do not change the rights attached to other content on our website.
Our Editorial Process
Please send a topic proposal before preparing a full article.
We may suggest edits for clarity, accuracy, structure, or relevance. Changes that affect your meaning, recommendations, or agreed commercial links will be discussed with you before publication.
We may decline submissions or remove published material if concerns arise about accuracy, permissions, undisclosed promotion, or suitability. Contributors may contact us to discuss corrections, updates, or removal.
