Who We're Looking For

PawKeen exists to give Australian pet owners honest, practical advice they can actually trust. We're not a content farm — every article on this site is written by someone who genuinely knows what they're talking about.

If you're a veterinarian, vet nurse, certified dog trainer, animal nutritionist, experienced groomer, pet behaviourist, or simply a passionate pet owner with genuine first-hand knowledge — we want to hear from you.

Topics We Cover

We publish content across these core areas. Your pitch should fit naturally into one of them:

Submission Guidelines

Content Requirements

• Word count: 1,200 – 3,000 words. Long enough to be genuinely useful, short enough to respect the reader's time.
• Original content only. Your article must not be published anywhere else — including your own blog, Medium, or LinkedIn.
• Australian context. Reference Australian brands, prices in AUD, local vet practices, climate considerations, and AU regulations where relevant.
• Evidence-based. Link to reputable sources (veterinary journals, university research, government guidelines). No unsupported health claims.
• Practical and actionable. Every article should leave the reader knowing what to do next. Avoid vague generalities.
• No AI-generated content. We use detection tools. AI-assisted research is fine — AI-written articles are not.

Formatting

• Use clear H2 and H3 subheadings to break up the content
• Include bullet points or numbered lists where they add clarity
• Add a short author bio (2-3 sentences) with your credentials
• Submit as a Google Doc or .docx file — not PDF
• Include 2-3 royalty-free or original images if possible

What You Get

• Author byline with your photo, name, credentials, and a link to your website or professional profile
• Exposure to a growing audience of engaged Australian pet owners
• A do-follow backlink to your website within your author bio
• Social media promotion — we share every published article across our channels
