Megan is a Staff Writer at PetsRadar, covering features, reviews, deals, and buying guides. She has a wealth of experience caring for animals, having grown up with dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, and more throughout her life.
She’s particularly interested in pet happiness and behavior, which she loves to research in her spare time — you’ll often find her watching webinars on reactivity in dogs or researching cat body language. She loves going the extra mile for her cats, Chilli and Nala, who also help out with testing the best products for our buying guides (from automatic litter boxes and microchip cat flaps to everything in between!)
Megan studied BA Journalism at the University of Westminster, where she specialized in lifestyle journalism and was editor of Smoke Radio’s lifestyle website. She also graduated from West Herts College with a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Journalism. She is currently completing a course in cat and dog behavior, run by the University of Edinburgh.
Before joining the PetsRadar family in 2023, she worked on the editorial team for Harrods Beauty and has spent most of her career writing for lifestyle titles, like Fit&Well, RunningShoesGuru, Licklist and Mr. After Party.
Megan works alongside qualified vets (like Dr. Woodnutt and Dr. Chandley), and accredited trainers (like Amanda Campion and Jan Barley) to ensure you get the best advice possible. She is passionate about finding accurate and helpful answers to your pet-related questions.
