Ellie Simons is the founder and editor of Foods To Avoid. She lives in Wisconsin with two Aussiedoodles and a Maine Coon, so “Can they eat this?” is never a purely theoretical question. When she is not comparing labels and veterinary sources, Ellie is probably enjoying a hike or finding a pet-safe way to share a snack with her very fluffy household. She is not a veterinarian, so every guide is carefully researched, clearly sourced, and honest about when professional help belongs in the conversation.
