How answers are researched and reviewed

Each food answer starts from named sources, records what those sources do and do not cover, and lists any preparation conditions. Answers are checked by the site owner before publication. That check is not a veterinary review, and this site does not employ veterinarians or an editorial team. Sources and review dates are shown on each published answer so you can judge it yourself.
