Our standards

• Sources

  We only use primary or authoritative sources: NRC, WSAVA, Merck Veterinary Manual, AAHA, AAFP, AVSAB, CAPC, peer-reviewed journals and national kennel or cat clubs. Every tool lists its sources.

• Accuracy

  Formulas are unit-tested against independent calculations. Where the science gives a range, we show a range instead of false precision.

• Veterinary review

  Health, nutrition, breeding and safety tools are reviewed by a licensed veterinarian before publication and at least every 6 months. Each page shows that it was reviewed and when.

• AI use

  We may use AI to draft or code. A human edits every page and a vet reviews health content. No page is published unedited.

• Independence

  Advertising and affiliate partners never influence formulas or results.

• Corrections

  Report an error and we respond within 5 working days. Material corrections are logged on the page.
