About Tinaya
Tinaya — Pet Care Editor at PawsMore
Tinaya is the editorial voice behind PawsMore. She's a longtime pet parent who has fostered and adopted rescue dogs and cats over the past decade — three senior Pomeranians, two mixed-breed shelter pulls, and one very opinionated tortoiseshell tabby who runs the household.
She writes the way she'd talk to a friend at the dog park: direct, specific, and skeptical of marketing claims. Calming beds don't cure anxiety. Most "indestructible" toys aren't. Half of dog jackets don't fit short, broad breeds. The PawsMore blog exists because the pet supply industry has a habit of overpromising, and Tinaya's job is to write the version of the article she wishes she'd had when she brought home her first foster dog at 2 AM with no idea what she was doing.
Her writing draws on a decade of hands-on experience: bottle-feeding orphan kittens, managing separation anxiety in a senior rescue who had spent five years in a shelter, learning the hard way which fabric a Pomeranian will actually sleep on, and weighing dozens of harnesses on her own dogs.
What you won't find here
Veterinary or behavioral diagnoses. When a topic crosses into clinical territory — anxiety medications, surgery recovery, food allergies, breed-specific health risks — articles are reviewed by partner veterinarians before publishing. PawsMore doesn't claim DVM credentials it doesn't have. Tinaya writes from the perspective of someone who has loved difficult animals for ten years, and references the experts when the question deserves one.
What she covers most often
- Senior dog and cat care (because that's what most of her pets have been)
- Anxious or rescue dogs adjusting to new homes
- Honest product picks — including when not to buy something
- The fit problem: why most pet supplies fail short, broad, senior, or oddly-shaped pets
Articles by Tinaya appear on the PawsMore blog.
