Editorial Standards

Pet health is a topic where wrong information can hurt animals. These are the rules we follow, and what readers should and should not expect from us.

Who writes the content

Pages are published by the Petybuzz Editorial Team. We are not veterinarians and we do not present ourselves as such. We do not claim veterinary review on a page unless it names the reviewing veterinarian and their credentials.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to help research, draft and organize content. AI is a drafting aid, not a source: every factual claim is meant to be traceable to a source listed on the page.

Sources

• Food-safety and health pages cite recognized sources such as the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, the American Kennel Club, Pet Poison Helpline and veterinary hospital or veterinary school resources.
• Each page lists its sources at the bottom and shows a “Last checked” date.
• When reputable sources disagree, we say so and err on the side of caution.

Product guides

Product guides summarize manufacturer information, published specifications and owner feedback. We do not describe a product as “tested” unless the page shows what was tested, how, and by whom. If a page does not say that, we did not test it hands-on.

Advertising and affiliate links

We earn money from ads and affiliate links. That money does not decide whether we call a food safe or unsafe: food-safety pages contain no affiliate links. Affiliate links are labeled and marked rel="sponsored". Details are in our affiliate disclosure.

Corrections and updates

If you find an error, email contact@petybuzz.com with the page address and what is wrong, ideally with a source. We correct confirmed errors promptly and update the “Last checked” date when we review a page.

Nothing on Petybuzz replaces professional veterinary advice. If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian.
