Our Editorial Standards & Policy
At Woof & Wag, our mission is to empower dog parents with reliable, research-informed, and practical care guides. Here is how we ensure our content is accurate and trustworthy.
🩺 1. Evidence-Based Research & Sourcing
We do not publish rumors, hearsay, or untested trends. Every claim regarding canine health, diet, toxicity, or behavior modification is thoroughly researched. Our primary sources include:
- Peer-reviewed veterinary journals (e.g., Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Frontiers in Veterinary Science).
- Official guidelines from board-certified organizations like the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) and the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).
- Direct consultation and review of clinical studies from veterinary universities.
🤖 2. Responsible Use of AI Technology
To support our content pipeline and maintain deep, comprehensive coverage of complex topics, we use advanced AI models to assist with research compilation and initial drafts. However, we maintain a strict Human-in-the-Loop policy:
- No AI-generated draft is ever published raw or unchecked.
- Our editorial team rigorously fact-checks every statement, source reference, and dosage recommendation.
- We adapt all text to ensure it communicates with warmth, empathy, and clinical accuracy suited for everyday pet parents.
✍️ 3. Author & Reviewer Standards
Our articles are written by experienced pet care writers and behavior specialists. For critical health and nutrition guides, we aim to have content reviewed or backed by licensed veterinary experts (DVMs) or certified canine behavior consultants (CCBCs). Every guide lists the author and the last updated date.
✉️ 4. Corrections and Accuracy Reports
We strive for perfection but acknowledge that science and pet care guidelines evolve. If you believe there is an error, contradiction, or outdated detail in any of our guides, please report it to our editorial team:
corrections@woofnwagg.com
Our team will review the claim, cross-reference it with peer-reviewed veterinary databases, and issue a correction or update to the page within 24 hours if verified.
