Sources and review status

What a source link means

A reference can support a formula or a general statement. It does not mean the source's authors have reviewed PetGrit, examined your pet, or approved a result. Calculator assumptions and owner-selected details can also affect the output.

• Published formulas: useful for estimates within their stated assumptions, not an individual prescription.
• PetGrit estimates and checklists: product logic that has not undergone named veterinary validation.
• Owner records: observations and history you enter; PetGrit cannot verify a diagnosis, dose, date, or measurement.

Nutrition and the care report

The homemade food calculator estimates ingredient totals. It cannot establish that a recipe is nutritionally complete or suitable for a particular pet. The AAHA guidance on home-prepared diets recommends specialist formulation and following the specified recipe and supplements exactly. Adding a supplement name or amount to our tool does not perform that assessment.

The care report organizes your notes for a visit. Its general reference material is separate from your observations and the questions that need your veterinarian's assessment. The WSAVA nutrition resources describe the broader nutritional assessment that a short online form cannot replace.

Editorial checks and professional review

Engineering checks cover calculations, input handling, links, and output consistency. They are not clinical review. Publication dates, update dates, and references on a page do not identify a professional reviewer.

A completed professional review needs the reviewer's name, relevant qualification, review date, and the specific material reviewed. Until those details are recorded, treat the content as unreviewed general information.
