Our articles are regularly updated with new facts and figures, with date shown for when updates were made. Additionally, some articles may contain a tagline at the end of the piece to highlight additional research or authorship information.
Periodic review by editors as well as by Medical, Anti-Bias or other Review Board members as appropriate, to ensure the quality, accuracy, and integrity of these assets. Photos and videos are not edited in any way that may cause them to be false or misleading.

Sourcing
To ensure accuracy and quality of the articles created by our team, we strictly follow sourcing protocols. Our writers and editors rely on current and reliable primary sources such as expert interviews, government agencies, professional organizations, and academic institutions. To back up any data points, facts, or claims used in any article written by us, they always refer to at least one valid source.
We emphasize the importance of sourcing whenever possible. Anonymous or unnamed sourcing can lessen transparency and harm reader trust, so we only use it sparingly. When we do opt for an unnamed source, we explain why and provide any necessary background information.
Sourcing from diverse backgrounds is important to us, so we make sure to represent voices from the BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and women communities in the content we produce. We want to ensure that our coverage includes perspectives from all walks of life.

- Copyright Law of the United States

Objectivity
At WarmlyPet, we strive to maintain complete objectivity when it comes to including any outside resources in our content. Our writers and editors are required to remain unbiased when selecting content to feature and should never grant any favoritism based on the author or company that owns the resource.
WarmlyPet writers and editors are contractually obligated to abide by the FTC Guidelines on Disclosures. For writers, this means that they must ensure that any personal or financial relationships with their sources and resources do not influence their work. Such relationships should be transparently disclosed, as well as any goods or services received from the source which could potentially impact objectivity.
Important Disclaimer
Please note that all the content I put out here on my blog is based on my personal experience and in-depth research. We are just a couple of pet parents sharing knowledge from the experiences we have faced, and through what we have learned over years with our furry babies. We are NOT vets, and while we do our best to provide articles only after very thorough research, Warmly Pet is NOT a substitute for veterinary advice. Always be in regular touch with your vet and consult them before making any changes in the diet or lifestyle of your pets. Your vet knows the exact medical history of your pets and will be able to provide accurate and customized guidance suitable to your cat’s needs.
