Verdict reads every product on your pet store and writes an honest "Perfect for / Skip if" panel — breed size, life stage, dietary fit, allergens, ingredient sensitivities. Pet parents stop second-guessing on the PDP. Wrong-size returns and wrong-formula refunds drop.
For: dog/cat food, treats, supplements, harnesses, beds, CBD, dental, calming · Cuts the "is this safe for my breed/age/allergies?" DM thread
EXAMPLE — what shoppers see on a real pet PDP
All-in-1 Multivitamin Soft Chews (30 ct)
A multi-claim daily chew covering joint mobility, gut health, skin & coat, and omega-3s. Chicken-based with glucosamine, probiotics, salmon oil, and biotin. Dosed by dog weight (under 25 lb, 25–50 lb, 50+ lb).
✓ Perfect for your dog if…
Your dog is 25 lb or larger and not currently on any other glucosamine supplement
You want one chew to cover joints, gut, and coat rather than stacking 3 separate supplements
Your dog tolerates chicken-based formulas
You'd prefer a soft chew over a hard pill or powder
⚠ Skip if…
Your dog already takes a daily glucosamine or joint supplement — stacking can exceed safe sulfate levels
Your dog has a chicken protein allergy — fish-based alternatives are listed under "Related products"
Your dog is under 12 weeks or pregnant — not formulated for puppies or nursing dogs
Your dog is on prescription antibiotics — pause probiotic supplementation during the course

🐕
Breed-size + life-stage fit
Harnesses span XS-to-XL across Chihuahua-to-GSD. Kibbles split by puppy / adult / senior. Verdict encodes the actual size and life-stage rules per SKU so the in-between-size returns drop without rewriting the description.
🥩
Allergen + diet awareness
Chicken, beef, grain-free, limited-ingredient diets — Verdict reads protein and ingredient tags and surfaces "Skip if chicken allergy" on every relevant SKU. Pet parents managing food allergies stop having to email your CS team.
💊
Supplement stacking guardrails
Multi-supplement chews are the #1 pet returns trigger ("I didn't know my dog was already on glucosamine"). Verdict's "Skip if already taking X" line cuts that returns category in half for the brands testing it.

Pet brand FAQ
What pet merchants ask before installing.
Does Verdict handle both dog and cat catalogs?
Yes. Verdict reads product taxonomy and treats dog and cat SKUs as distinct categories with different fit rules (e.g. cat litter has clumping, dust, scent dimensions; dog food has breed-size and life-stage). If your store sells both, panels are generated per species automatically.
What about CBD products and the regulatory disclaimers?
Verdict adds the standard "Skip if pregnant, nursing, on SSRIs, or under 6 months" disclaimer block on CBD SKUs by default. It does not make veterinary claims. Pair with your existing regulatory disclaimer block — Verdict is fit guidance, not legal copy.
Does it work for prescription-diet brands (sold under vet authorization)?
Yes, but with care. Verdict's "Perfect for" bullets can recommend prescription diets only when the SKU is tagged as such — it won't blur the line between OTC and Rx. You can also set Verdict to add "Veterinary authorization required" as a standing line for any tagged Rx product.
Can shoppers filter the catalog by Fit Score after taking the quiz once?
Not in v1. Each PDP runs its own 3-question Fit Score quiz. Cross-PDP filtering is on the v1.2 roadmap. Today, shoppers self-qualify per product.
How does it handle breed-size sizing for harnesses, collars, beds?
Verdict reads variant titles (XS, S, M, L, XL) and breed/weight metafields if present, then writes "Perfect for [chest 16-22"] / Skip if [outside that range]" per variant. If you don't have weight metafields, it falls back to common breed examples per size. Adding a "weight_range" metafield in 10 min lifts panel quality noticeably.
What's the return-reduction guarantee?
No guarantee. Pet brands testing Verdict over 60 days reported wrong-size and wrong-formula refunds dropping 8–17%. Multi-supplement stacks see the biggest improvement (clearer call-outs on existing-supplement conflicts). Apparel and treats see smaller gains.
