Petwise Editorial Team
The Petwise Editorial Team researches, writes and updates the care guides on Petwise. We are pet care writers, not veterinarians. Our guides are built from published veterinary and animal welfare sources, such as the Merck Veterinary Manual, VCA Animal Hospitals, the ASPCA and the RSPCA, and many list their main sources at the end. Every guide explains when a problem needs a vet rather than home care, and we correct and update articles when guidance changes. Our Editorial Policy explains how we research, check and correct our work.
