Editorial Policy

Sourcing

Guides cite primary sources: veterinary professional bodies (AVMA, WSAVA, AAHA), university veterinary teaching hospitals, poison-control organisations, and peer-reviewed journals. We do not cite other pet blogs as evidence.

Medical review

Health-related guides are being progressively reviewed by licensed veterinarians. Guides that have completed review carry a “Medically reviewed by” byline naming the reviewer. Guides without that byline have not yet been through veterinary review and should be read as carefully sourced editorial content.

Updates

Every guide shows its last-updated date. We revise guides when guidance from primary sources changes, and review high-traffic health guides on a recurring schedule.

What we don't do

• No diagnosis: our symptom guides help you judge urgency, not replace examination.
• No sponsored conclusions: recommendations are never sold.
• No recycled content: guides are researched and written for this site.
