Disclaimer

1. What this disclaimer covers

This disclaimer applies to everything published on pupvoice.com — articles, stories, guides, images, and anything shared through our newsletter or social channels. By using the site, you accept this disclaimer, which forms part of our Terms of Use.

2. General information only

All content on PupVoice is published in good faith and for general informational purposes only. It is provided “as is,” without representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied — including about its accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness for any particular purpose. Any action you take based on what you read here, you take strictly at your own risk.

3. Not veterinary advice

If your dog is sick, hurt, or behaving in a way that scares you, call your veterinarian or an emergency animal hospital now. Nothing on this website should ever delay that call.

Nothing on PupVoice is veterinary or medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation. We are journalists, not veterinarians. Reading this site, contacting us, or submitting a story does not create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship or any other professional relationship. Always consult a licensed veterinarian about your dog’s health, nutrition, medication, and care — and never disregard or delay professional advice because of something you read here.

4. Not professional advice

The same applies beyond health. Nothing here is legal, financial, insurance, or other professional advice — including our coverage of dog laws, which reports on legislation but cannot tell you how the law applies to your situation. For decisions that matter, consult a qualified professional in your area.

5. Training and behavior content

Every dog is different. Training tips and behavior guidance on PupVoice are general education, and applying them is at your own risk and your own judgment of your dog. Results are never guaranteed. For aggression, fear, resource guarding, or anything involving safety — yours, your family’s, or your dog’s — work with a qualified professional trainer or a veterinary behaviorist in person.

6. Stories and outcomes

Our stories describe real, individual dogs and the specific things that happened to them. A recovery, transformation, or happy ending in one story is not a promise, prediction, or typical result for any other dog — including yours.

Adoption and availability details are accurate at the time of publishing, to the best of our verification, but they change fast — a dog listed as available may already have a home. The rescue holding the dog is always the authority on its current status, not our story. How we update stories is covered in our editorial policy.

7. Third parties and fundraisers

Our stories link to rescues, shelters, fundraisers, and other outside websites. These are independent third parties. We do our best to link only to legitimate organizations, but we do not control them and cannot guarantee their conduct, their claims, or how donated funds are used.

• A link on PupVoice is not an endorsement, and we are not affiliated with linked organizations unless we clearly say so.
• Donations you make to any rescue or fundraiser are strictly between you and that organization — verify before you give.
• Adoptions happen entirely through the rescue that holds the dog, under that rescue’s process and terms. PupVoice is not a party to any adoption.

8. Advertising and endorsements

Ads on PupVoice are served automatically by third-party advertising partners, as explained in our advertising disclosure. The appearance of an ad is not our recommendation of the product or service, and any transaction with an advertiser is solely between you and them.

9. Products we mention

When we mention or review dog products, that is our opinion based on research and experience — your results may vary. Before using any product that affects your dog’s health, including food, treats, and supplements, check with your veterinarian. Issues with a product are a matter for its manufacturer or seller, not PupVoice. Where a link may earn us a commission, our affiliate disclosure applies.

10. Errors and omissions

We verify before we publish and correct mistakes visibly — that is our editorial policy, and we take it seriously. Even so, despite every precaution, content may occasionally contain errors, or become outdated as events move on. PupVoice accepts no liability for any error or omission, or for any outcome of relying on the information here.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PupVoice, and anyone who works on it, will not be liable for any loss, damage, or injury — direct or indirect, and including harm to any person, property, or animal — arising from your use of this site, your reliance on its content, or your dealings with any third party we link to. Nothing in this disclaimer limits any liability that applicable law does not allow to be limited.

12. Changes and contact

We may update this disclaimer as the site evolves; the date at the top always reflects the current version. Questions about it: email hello@pupvoice.com with the subject “Disclaimer”, or use our contact page.
