Disclaimer

Not veterinary advice

House Pet Authority publishes informational content about dog and cat food safety, behavior, and general wellness. Nothing on this site is veterinary advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation, and nothing on this site creates a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. Every pet is different: age, breed, size, existing health conditions, and quantity consumed all change the picture. Always talk to a licensed veterinarian about your own pet.

In an emergency

If you believe your pet has eaten something dangerous or is showing signs of distress, do not wait on an answer from this website. Contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 immediately.

How our content is sourced

Food safety verdicts are sourced from published veterinary authorities such as the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, the Pet Poison Helpline, the Merck Veterinary Manual, and peer-reviewed literature. See our methodology page for the full sourcing and review process. Content is reviewed against published sources, not written or reviewed by a practicing veterinarian on staff.

Affiliate relationships

House Pet Authority may link to third-party retailers and earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through those links, at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence a food safety verdict, and no products are shown on Toxic or Emergency verdict pages.

No warranty

This site is provided on an as-is basis. While we take sourcing and accuracy seriously, we make no warranty that any page is complete, current, or error-free, and we are not liable for decisions made based on this content. See our terms page for the full terms of use.
