About

Built with love for pets, designed for real life

We built MyPetQuiz because we genuinely love animals and we have seen what happens when a pet and a lifestyle do not match. It is stressful for you, and it is even harder for the pet. This site is our way of making pet decisions calmer, clearer, and kinder.

The goal is simple: help you pick a pet that will thrive in your home, not just a pet that looks cute on a screen.

Why we built this

  • People often start with a breed or a trend. We start with your day-to-day reality: time, space, energy, budget, and support.
  • Many "pet quizzes" are vague or overly confident. We prefer honest tradeoffs and clear next steps.
  • A good match reduces the chance of rehoming. That is better for you, and better for animal welfare.

What you get from MyPetQuiz

Top matches, not just one answer
You get your top matches with fit scores, why they fit, and what might be hard.
Time and monthly cost expectations
A practical view of daily effort and typical ongoing costs, so there are fewer surprises.
A starter plan you can act on
Clear next steps for the first days and weeks, including checklists and shopping guidance.

How the quiz works

  1. Answer a short set of lifestyle questions.
  2. We score possible matches and explain the tradeoffs behind them.
  3. You get a practical plan: what to prepare, what to avoid, and what to do next.

If your best match is a dog, you can go deeper with our Dog Breed Finder to compare breeds and narrow the fit.

Our principles

  • Pet welfare first. A "no pet right now" result is still a good result if it protects an animal from a poor fit.
  • Clarity over hype. We show pros and cons so you can make a confident decision.
  • Practical by default. You should leave with a plan, not just a score.
  • Respect for privacy. We only collect what is needed to run the experience and improve the product.
