Score breakdown and evidenceEvery point, with the quote behind it
Honest Paws stacks proof well ("Over 14,000 + 5-Star Reviews", "Backed by Peer-Reviewed Scientific Studies", "30 day money-back guarantee"). The homepage title still says CBD while the H1 says supplements, and the warehouse sale shouts over everything.

OkendoSubscriptions
Honest Paws: on the pageA subscribe option shows in the buy box. We couldn’t name the app from the page code, so it doesn’t count as a gap.

Adoption is the share of storefronts where our Oct 9, 2026 scan found at least one app in the lane. Apps that live only in checkout or the back office can hide from a scan, so “not spotted” doesn’t mean missing. App names show what other brands run. They aren’t endorsements. A few links to software partners are referral links, and we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no cost to you. Money never changes a score.
