About Lornyvas
Helping you give your pet happier, healthier days
Lornyvas is an independent pets & pet-care publication. We help dog and cat owners — including brand-new ones — care for their animals with honest, vet-aware, plain-English guidance. Better days with your pet.
Why we started Lornyvas
Bringing home a pet is one of life's best decisions — and also one of the most overwhelming. Suddenly you're trying to decode barks and meows, decipher conflicting feeding advice, and figure out whether that thing your dog just did is normal or a trip to the vet. Most pet advice online is either fear-driven clickbait or a thin excuse to sell you something. We wanted a kinder, more honest option: clear writing for real owners who love their animals and just want to get things right.
Lornyvas started in 2026 from the questions friends and fellow fosters kept asking: Is my dog actually anxious or just bored? Why won't my cat use the litter box? What should I really be feeding them? Is this an emergency? Those answers turned into articles, and the articles turned into this. Today we publish practical guides across four areas — dogs, cats, health & nutrition, and new pet owners — all built on the same belief: small, kind, consistent changes do more for a pet than any quick fix.
How we work
Every article is written or edited by someone who has lived with, cared for, fostered, or worked professionally with animals. We favour humane, positive, force-free methods, we update guides as best practice evolves, and we are honest about what we don't know. When we share advice, it's because we'd give it to a friend — not because someone paid us to.
We're also clear about one important line: Lornyvas is never a substitute for your veterinarian. For anything to do with your specific animal's health, nutrition, medication, or behavior, your vet — who can actually examine your pet — is the right person to ask. You can read more in our disclaimer and about how we work in our editorial policy.
What we value
The principles behind every article
Vet-aware, never a vet
We give honest, well-researched pet-care information — and we're the first to tell you when something needs your own veterinarian. We never pretend an article can replace hands-on care.
Animal wellbeing first
Every recommendation starts from one question: is this kind to the animal? We favour humane, positive, force-free methods and we say so when a popular shortcut isn't fair to your pet.
Practical, real-life advice
We write for actual homes with actual pets — the anxious rescue, the picky eater, the kitten who climbs the curtains. If something only works in theory, we'll tell you.
Plain and honest
No jargon, no scare tactics, and no padding. We explain things the way we'd explain them to a friend who just brought home their first puppy.
The team
Who writes Lornyvas
Cora has shared her home with dogs for most of her life and has spent years fostering and volunteering at rescue shelters. She founded Lornyvas to give pet owners honest, practical guidance — the kind she wished she'd had with her first anxious rescue. She writes plainly, never judges, and always puts the animal's wellbeing first.
Liam is a former veterinary technician who spent years in clinic helping worried owners understand what their pets actually needed. He translates pet health and nutrition into plain language — and he is the first to say that an article is no substitute for your own vet. He flags when something is an emergency, not a wait-and-see.
Sasha is a lifelong cat person and foster who is fascinated by why animals do what they do. She writes about behavior, enrichment, and the small changes that make pets calmer and happier. She favors patience and positive, force-free methods over quick fixes.
