Terms of Use
PupWiki is provided for educational and planning purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional veterinary, legal, insurance, financial, or behavior advice.
Educational use only
PupWiki guides, tools, comparisons, and breed profiles are intended to help you research, compare, and plan dog ownership. They are educational resources, not professional services. You use PupWiki at your own discretion.
No veterinary advice
Nothing on PupWiki constitutes veterinary medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Health information is educational and sourced from authoritative veterinary organisations. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for your dog's specific health needs.
Emergency situations
PupWiki cannot provide emergency veterinary guidance. If your dog may be sick, injured, poisoned, unable to breathe normally, collapsed, or in severe pain, contact a veterinarian or emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
Tool and calculator limitations
PupWiki tool results are planning estimates or educational guidance. They are not guarantees, diagnoses, treatment plans, insurance quotes, legal advice, or financial advice. Specifically:
- Breed Fit scores are orientation tools, not scientific assessments. Individual dogs vary widely from breed averages.
- Cost estimates are US national average planning ranges. Actual costs vary by location, provider, health, lifestyle, and individual dog.
- Dog Food Calculator outputs are calorie and portion guidance based on general formulas. Consult a veterinarian before changing your dog's diet, especially for health conditions.
- Training Plan Generator outputs are general, reward-based guidance. Seek a qualified trainer for aggression, bite history, severe fear, or complex behaviour issues.
Breed behavior limitations
Breed trait descriptions and tendency ratings reflect population-level averages. No breed description guarantees individual dog behavior, temperament, health, or suitability. Statements like "low shedding" refer to breed tendencies, not hypoallergenic claims. Individual supervision, training, and socialization always matter.
Cost and insurance limitations
Cost estimates are not insurance quotes. Always review policy terms, exclusions, waiting periods, limits, deductibles, and pre-existing condition rules directly with an insurance provider.
Nutrition and training limitations
Nutrition and training content is educational. Portion recommendations are estimates based on weight and activity. Always consult your veterinarian for dogs with health conditions, weight management needs, or specific dietary requirements.
