The badge

Big Paws Approved

Awarded only to products that score 85 or higher out of 100 in our own testing, with published photo evidence and zero deal-breaker flags.

Big PawsApproved

What it means

The product cleared 85/100 on the weighting profile that applies to it, survived our full test window with a real dog in its fit band, and had no safety deal-breakers.

It cannot be bought

There is no fee, no sponsorship tier, no application, and no paid review path. Brands cannot pay for the badge, pay to keep it, or pay to remove a Failed verdict. Affiliate commissions never touch a score.

It can be lost

We re-test when a product is revised or when owner reports flag a new failure mode. A badge removed is announced in the review, not quietly deleted.
