About Dr.
Dr. David Chen is a licensed veterinarian and BHGR's Veterinary Consultant. He has 18 years of clinical experience across small-animal practice and consults on pet-product safety standards.
His reviews prioritize safety first — material non-toxicity, choking-hazard risk, and chew durability on dog gear; litter-box hygiene and cat-toy bite-test data on the feline side. He won't recommend any product he wouldn't put in front of his own patients.
Dr. Chen graduated with a DVM from a top veterinary program and continues to see patients part-time alongside his editorial work at BHGR.
