About TailSpecs
TailSpecs is a spec database and review site for pet tech sold in the US. It is researched and written by Arina Nikoliukina. Every price, plan cost and spec on the site links to the page, manual or listing it came from, with the date it was checked.
Who writes TailSpecs
Arina Nikoliukina researches and writes every page on TailSpecs: she reads the brand's product pages, manuals and plan pages, goes through owner reviews and independent measurements, and checks the CPSC recall database for each model. Her profile is on LinkedIn.
What TailSpecs covers
Self-cleaning litter boxes, automatic feeders and water fountains, pet cameras, GPS collars and wireless fences, and pet DNA tests. Each model gets a dated price, the subscription it needs, a first-year cost with liners, filters or plans included, and specs linked to their source, so models can be compared in one table.
How we work
We work from public sources and do not buy the products or use them with our own pets. Where a brand's claim and an independent reviewer's measurement differ, both appear side by side with who measured and when. The full method, including how the score works, is on How we research.
How TailSpecs makes money
TailSpecs is free to read and has no ads or sponsored placements. We plan to join brand affiliate programs, which pay a commission when a reader buys through a store link; the affiliate disclosure explains what that changes and what it doesn't. A commission never changes a score.
