Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using Database.pet you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. Educational purpose only

All content on Database.pet — including food safety verdicts, toxicity scores, symptom guides and dosing notes — is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not veterinary advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it does not create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. Always consult a licensed veterinarian who can examine your animal before making decisions about its diet or health.

3. Not for emergencies

Database.pet is not an emergency service. If you believe your animal has ingested something toxic or is showing concerning symptoms, do not rely on this website — contact your veterinarian or an animal poison control hotline immediately. The hotlines listed on our Vet Directory are available around the clock in many regions.

4. Accuracy and completeness

We work hard to keep our content accurate, evidence-based and up to date, with every published profile reviewed by qualified veterinary professionals. However, veterinary science evolves, individual animals vary, and errors can occur. We make no warranty that the content is complete, current or error-free, and we may update or correct it at any time without notice.

5. Acceptable use

You may use Database.pet for your own personal, non-commercial reference. You agree not to misuse the site, including by attempting to disrupt it, circumvent security, or submit fraudulent feedback votes. Automated scraping, bulk downloading, republishing or reselling our content without prior written permission is strictly prohibited.

6. Intellectual property

The content, structure, written profiles, compilation, design, logo and brand of Database.pet are protected by intellectual-property laws and remain our property or that of our licensors. You may share links to our pages freely, but you may not copy substantial portions of our content for republication without permission.

7. Third-party links and resources

The site links to third-party resources such as veterinary clinics, poison-control hotlines and reference sources. These are provided for convenience; we do not control and are not responsible for the content, availability or practices of external sites, and a link does not imply endorsement.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

Database.pet is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Database.pet and its contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising out of or in connection with your use of, or reliance on, the information presented — including any harm to an animal. Your sole remedy if you are dissatisfied is to stop using the site.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Database.pet and its contributors from any claims, damages or expenses arising from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by applicable law without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.

12. Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms of Use from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the latest revision, and your continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
