PetGratitude aims to publish practical, reliable, and responsible pet-care information. This policy explains how we plan, review, update, and correct content.
Editorial standards
- Each article should serve a clear reader need rather than exist only to target a keyword.
- Important claims should be supported by reputable sources appropriate to the subject.
- Health, nutrition, behavior, toxicity, and safety guidance should use cautious language and clearly state when professional help is needed.
- Breed and species guides should explain both suitability and responsibility, including challenges and limitations.
- We avoid guarantees, sensational claims, and advice that treats every animal as identical.
Sources and review
Sources are selected based on relevance, credibility, and the type of claim being made. Scientific, veterinary, welfare, government, university, and established specialist sources may be used where appropriate. A source list does not replace professional advice, and the presence of a source does not mean that every situation will have the same outcome.
Updates and corrections
We may update articles to correct errors, improve clarity, add sources, revise outdated information, or improve internal links. When a material change is made, the article’s modified date should be updated. Readers can report problems through the Contact page.
Medical and veterinary limitations
PetGratitude does not diagnose animals or prescribe treatment. Articles discussing symptoms, diseases, food safety, supplements, medication, or behavior problems are general educational resources only. Seek advice from a qualified veterinarian or relevant specialist for an individual pet.
Editorial independence
Content should be written to help readers make informed decisions. Product or gear recommendations should only be published when the page can explain how the item was evaluated, who it is suitable for, and what its limitations are.
