Editorial Policy
Our Editorial Policy
Whisker Wellness publishes practical guides on dog, cat, and small pet care. Because many of our articles touch on health, nutrition, and behavior, we hold our content to clear standards. This page explains who writes our articles, how they are produced, which sources we rely on, and how we keep them accurate over time.
Our Mission
Our goal is to help pet owners make better everyday decisions for their animals and arrive at every veterinary appointment better informed. We aim to explain topics clearly, point out when a situation needs professional attention, and stay honest about the limits of what general advice can do.
Who Writes Our Content
Whisker Wellness is run by Jeremy W., the founder and editor of the site. Jeremy is not a veterinarian. Every article is reviewed and approved by him before publication, and he is responsible for the content published on this site.
How Our Articles Are Created
We believe in being transparent about how our content is made. Our process works like this:
- Topic research: we start from the real questions pet owners ask and study what reputable veterinary organizations say about the subject.
- AI-assisted drafting: we use AI writing tools to help structure and draft articles. AI is a tool in our process, never the final word.
- Fact-checking: health, nutrition, and safety claims are checked against established veterinary sources, such as the ones listed below. Claims we cannot verify are removed.
- Human review and editing: Jeremy W. reviews, edits, and approves every article before it goes live, with a focus on accuracy, clarity, and safety.
- Ongoing updates: articles are revisited when guidelines change or when readers report an issue.
The Sources We Rely On
When we cover health, nutrition, or safety topics, we prioritize guidance from recognized veterinary and animal welfare organizations, including:
- World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA)
- American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)
- Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO)
- Merck Veterinary Manual
- VCA Animal Hospitals
- ASPCA
- Cornell Feline Health Center
Many of our articles list their main references in a dedicated sources section at the end.
