How these guides are written
The 24 guides are written and edited in house, by the same person who builds Tiny Doggo, in a home with a real puppy in it and the same 3am questions everyone else has. We are not veterinarians, and every guide says so.
- We start from what people actually search for, using keyword research rather than a guess about what might be interesting.
- We read the established sources on the question: the American Kennel Club, PetMD, VCA Animal Hospitals, Purina, Humane World for Animals, and veterinary clinics who publish their own guidance.
- We put a direct answer in the first few lines, because that is what someone standing by the door at 3am needs.
- Every source is linked at the bottom of the guide, so you can check us. Where sources disagree, we say so instead of picking the tidier number.
- Guides carry a date, and we update them rather than quietly rewriting history.
What we will not do: no diagnosing, no dosing, no treatment advice. When a question crosses into veterinary territory, like blood, straining, or a sudden change in how often a puppy goes, the guide says to call a vet, because that is the correct answer and not a disclaimer. There are no adverts, affiliate links or sponsored placements in any of them.
