About Mr. Pet Parent

Pets in a busy house

Mr. Pet Parent is about real life with pets when the house is full and the calendar is packed. We write about morning and evening routines, passing pet duties between family members, gear that earns its space, and memberships worth weighing up. A lot of it comes down to who feeds, who walks and who remembers the medication when the week gets away from everyone.

Marcus Reed, editor

Marcus Reed edits Mr. Pet Parent, choosing what we cover and reading every piece before it goes up. Marcus goes back to fix a page when an error shows up. Pen names sit on every byline, Marcus Reed’s included. Behind them are real homes, real dogs and routines the writers keep themselves. That is why our routines are built for mornings when nothing goes to plan.

Photos on the site

Our photos are licensed stock images or labeled editorial illustrations. They don’t show our writers’ homes or families. A photo of a tidy mudroom or a boxed feeder doesn’t mean we tested that gear or visited that home. When a writer has used it, the article says so.
