How we write and fact-check articles
01Where the facts come from
We rely on the open guidelines of international veterinary associations — the same documents that power reminders and health plans in the app:
- WSAVA — vaccination of dogs and cats (2024 edition);
- AAHA — canine vaccination and life stage guidelines (2022, 2024 update);
- AAFP / ABCD — feline health and vaccination;
- ESCCAP and CAPC — protection against worms, fleas and ticks;
- official country requirements for travelling with pets (EU regulations, GOV.UK and others).
02How an article is built
Every article answers one specific question. The answer sits in the first paragraph, next to it — an “In short” card with the key numbers, then a table or a breakdown and frequently asked questions. We do not pad the text: if the answer fits in six paragraphs, the article is six paragraphs long.
The sources are listed at the bottom of each article, and the last update date is shown at the top. When a protocol changes — as in 2024, when WSAVA moved the puppy revaccination from 12 months to ~26 weeks — we update the article and the date.
03Who reviews it
We draft with the help of AI, but only from our base of veterinary guidelines — the model does not write “from memory”. A human checks the facts, numbers and wording before publication. No article goes live without a review.
04What the articles do not replace
Our materials are reference content. They do not replace an examination and prescriptions from a veterinarian: protocols depend on the country, lifestyle and health of a specific pet. If your animal shows symptoms — see a vet first, not an article.
