Preferred sources
We prioritize veterinary schools, professional veterinary organizations, government and public-health agencies, peer-reviewed research, transparent veterinary hospital resources and other first-party material that directly supports the claim being made.
Commercial and local sources
Clinic pricing pages and provider information can be useful for local cost research, but they must be attributed and should not be generalized beyond what the source supports. Ratings or provider claims are not invented or copied without verification.
Secondary sources
High-quality secondary reporting may be used for context when primary data is unavailable, but important medical claims should be traced back to stronger evidence where possible.
What does not count as evidence
Unattributed AI output, fabricated citations, invented veterinarians, unsourced exact prices and promotional claims presented as medical fact are not acceptable sources for PawPulse Reviews.
