Editorial standards

How Pawped's content is produced, reviewed, and kept accurate.

How we write

Pawped's breed guides, week-by-week care plans, cost calculator, and interactive tools are AI-drafted using widely-published breed-registry data (AKC, TICA, FCI, CFA) and general veterinary reference material as source material. Every article is reviewed by a human editor before publication. We choose this workflow because it lets us cover 80+ breeds in five languages at a consistency and depth we couldn't reach otherwise; we're honest about it because you deserve to know how what you're reading was produced.

What we don't publish

  • No diagnostic advice. If something in your pet's body concerns you, please call a licensed veterinarian.
  • No dosing guidance. Medication and supplement decisions belong with your vet.
  • No sponsored breed placements. Nothing on this site is paid-for coverage of a specific breeder or brand.

Medical / veterinary review

We are actively recruiting a licensed veterinarian (DVM) or registered veterinary technician (RVT) to review health-adjacent content — puppy and kitten care plans, the vet-checker triage tool, and any future health guidance. Until that role is filled, health-adjacent pages default to a "when to call the vet" framing and link to licensed telehealth (Pawp, Vetster) rather than making a call ourselves.

Corrections

If you spot something that's wrong, please email hello@pawped.com. We reply to correction requests within a week and log all substantive fixes.

Affiliate independence

Affiliate commissions never influence which breeds or products we recommend. We link to a product we recommend even when we earn no commission on it, and we're transparent about the arrangement on our affiliate & advertising disclosure page.
