When a cat owner asks ChatGPT, does it send them to you or to Chewy?

What is different in pet
1The questions are commercial
"Best flea treatment for cats" is where the citations go to Chewy, PetMD and the FDA. Watch names them, so you know what you are up against on each query.
2Vet review is a gate, not a note
Clinical pages carry a named vet reviewer and a due date in the brief. Nothing clinical publishes without that sign-off.
3Two brands, one loop
Cats and dogs sites share a login and a Prove report. Cross-links between them are an add-on, gated on both sides.
