Editorial Policy

Each guide answers one clear question in plain language. We add worked examples so you can check the math yourself.

Our sources

We base nutrition content on the WSAVA Global Nutrition Guidelines, AAHA nutrition and weight management guidelines, and the NRC report on nutrient requirements of dogs and cats. We do not invent statistics, reviews, or credentials.

Updates and fixes

Every article shows a publish date and an updated date. We revise articles when guidance changes or when we find an error. To report one, use our contact page.

Sponsored content

We will label any sponsored or affiliate content. It will not change what we recommend.
