Editorial policy

Accuracy first

Every factual claim and every formula in our tools is traceable to a primary veterinary source or peer-reviewed research, and we name those sources on the page. We'd rather publish less and be right than publish fast and be wrong — especially on anything touching your pet's health.

Sourcing

We rely on recognised veterinary authorities — the Merck Veterinary Manual, AAHA and AAFP guidelines, and peer-reviewed studies — over secondhand blog summaries. When sources disagree, we say so rather than papering over it.

Independence

Our recommendations are editorially independent of our revenue. Affiliate partners cannot buy a better review, change a tool's output, or influence our conclusions. We explain how we earn on our how we make money page.

Veterinary review

Health and money content follows the review standard described on our experts & review process page, including veterinary review of guidance articles before publication. We disclose where that review is still being put in place rather than implying a credential we don't yet have.

Updates & corrections

Veterinary guidance changes; when it does, we update the affected tools and pages. If you spot an error, email hello@petgrit.com — we'll fix it promptly and note material corrections.

Medical disclaimer

PetGrit provides general information and estimates, not veterinary advice. It does not create a veterinarian–client–patient relationship and is not a substitute for professional care. Always consult your veterinarian about your individual animal, your local disease risks, and the law where you live.
