About All About Pets

Our Mission
All About Pets is dedicated to providing accurate, reliable, and comprehensive pet care information that helps pet owners make informed decisions about their animals' health, training, and overall well-being. We believe every pet deserves evidence-based guidance and practical solutions that prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness.

Who's Behind This
All About Pets was built by Hamza Diaz, who has spent the last four years as a pet content editor and blogger. The goal has always been straightforward: to cut through the noise and provide pet owners with information they can actually use. That means research-backed advice, practical steps, and honest acknowledgment of what we don't know yet.

To support this mission with formal training not just experience Hamza has completed multiple pet care certifications, including:

• Certified Pet Care Technician (CPCT) from Pet Sitters International (PSI)
• Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) from Pet Sitters International (PSI)
• Pet CPR and First Aid Certification from Pet First Aid & CPR by the American Red Cross
• Currently enrolled in a Veterinary Technician Certification program at Purdue University, with over eight months completed and approximately one year and four months remaining

These certifications, combined with ongoing veterinary technician education, ensure that the content on All About Pets is grounded in both hands-on experience and structured, science-based training.

What We Do
All About Pets serves as a trusted resource hub for pet owners seeking expert guidance across three core areas:

Pet Training & Behavior
Our training guides are developed using proven, science-based methodologies that emphasize positive reinforcement and humane approaches. We focus on building stronger bonds between pets and their owners through effective, evidence-based techniques.

Pet Care & Grooming
From daily grooming routines to specialized care techniques, we provide practical guides that help pet owners maintain their animals' comfort and well-being through hands-on, actionable instruction.

Pet Health Information
We curate and compile pet health information from veterinary research, peer-reviewed studies, and established veterinary organizations. Our health content is thoroughly researched and fact-checked to ensure accuracy and reliability.

Our Information Sources
All About Pets maintains rigorous standards for information accuracy and reliability:

Veterinary Research & Studies

Veterinary & Professional Organizations
We draw information from respected organizations, including:

• The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)
• The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)
• The American Kennel Club (AKC)
• International Association of Canine Behavior Consultants (IAABC)

Real-World Experience

These real-world perspectives are combined with professional expertise to create practical, implementable guidance that works in actual household situations.

Behind the Content: Our Veterinary Partnership
Every health and care article on All About Pets goes through a review process with licensed veterinarians who bring real clinical experience to the table. We work with veterinary professionals who are actively practicing in emergency care, surgery, shelter medicine, and exotic animal care people who see the direct impact of proper pet care every day.

Dr. Jamie Nenezian has built St. Charles Veterinary Hospital into a 24-hour emergency and general practice while specializing in critical care and wildlife medicine. Dr. Richards brings surgical and orthopedic expertise from his practice, and Dr. Rose Mangiamarchi a recent UF graduate, combines mixed animal care with integrative medicine and international animal welfare work. These aren't just names on a page; they're actively involved in ensuring our content reflects what actually works in veterinary practice.

When we write about pet health, we draw on their experiences alongside peer-reviewed research. When we recommend training techniques, they're validated against current behavioral science. This partnership means you're getting information grounded in both research and real clinical practice.
