How our content is created
Good Dog Questions uses AI-assisted drafting and editing. An author credit identifies editorial responsibility; it does not indicate a veterinary qualification or independent expert review.
What our dates mean
Sources checked records the documented date the article's supporting sources were checked. It replaces the older “Evidence checked” label. It does not, by itself, mean that the whole article has had a new content review, and it never means veterinary review.
Content and source review records a documented check of the article's substance and supporting information through AI-assisted editorial research on the displayed date. It is not independent veterinary verification and does not mean Elise personally performed a clinical review. Readers can use the linked sources to inspect the underlying guidance.
We show a source-check or content-review date only when that date is documented. If neither is shown, we do not have a documented review date to display and do not imply that the article has been reviewed. We do not substitute its publication date, an author-information update or today's date for a missing review record.
Author information updated records changes to the byline, not a review of the article. Published records publication, while a page's modification date can include editorial-label or layout changes. Neither is a source-check or content-review date. Publishing the website or changing its design does not automatically refresh review dates.
Sources and further reading
Links in an article's sources or further-reading section let readers explore supporting information. A link to an organisation does not mean that organisation has reviewed or endorsed our article. Personal stories describe our own experiences and should not be taken as advice for every dog.
Veterinary information
General information only, not a substitute for advice from a veterinarian. No veterinary review has been conducted. Contact your vet about your dog’s health; seek urgent veterinary care in an emergency.
Questions and corrections
Please send us an enquiry if you spot an error or have a question about an article. Include the page address and the information you think needs attention.
