About

P.A.T.C.H.E.S. was created with a simple belief: finding reliable pet safety information should not be difficult. Pet owners, veterinary professionals, breeders, rescues, shelters, and animal care providers are often forced to search through dozens of websites, news articles, social media posts, and search engine results to determine whether a product recall, safety advisory, or health alert affects the animals in their care. Critical information is frequently scattered across multiple agencies and publications, making it difficult to quickly find accurate, up-to-date guidance when it matters most. P.A.T.C.H.E.S. was built to change that. Our platform brings trusted recall and safety information together into a single, easy-to-access experience, allowing users to stay informed without sorting through sensational headlines, misleading articles, or unreliable sources.

P.A.T.C.H.E.S. is a member of the Open Health Metrics (OHM) family of applications. Open Health Metrics was founded with a broader mission: To improve public access to trusted health and safety information by creating centralized, easy-to-use platforms that transform complex regulatory data into actionable knowledge for consumers and professionals alike. Across every OHM platform, our goal remains the same: Deliver information from accredited and trusted sources Reduce misinformation and confusion Improve public awareness and safety Make critical information accessible to everyone Provide a single destination for reliable health and safety data P.A.T.C.H.E.S. extends that mission into the veterinary and pet care space, helping ensure that important animal safety information is available when it is needed most.
