This site is not veterinary advice

OpenPetGuide publishes general educational information about animal care. It isn't veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and using this site doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. Always consult a licensed veterinarian about your own animal. If an animal is injured, in distress, or showing emergency signs, contact a veterinarian or emergency clinic right away. Never disregard or delay professional veterinary advice because of something you read here.

Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using openpetguide.com, you agree to these terms of use and to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. The site is operated by OpenPetGuide ("we", "us").

Permitted use

You may read, print, and share our pages for personal, non-commercial use. You may not scrape, bulk-copy, republish, or resell our content without written permission. You may not attempt to disrupt the site, get around its security, or use it for any unlawful purpose.

Intellectual property

All content on this site, including text, layout, graphics, and the OpenPetGuide name and marks, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by copyright and other laws. Short quotations with clear attribution and a link are welcome.

We link to third-party sites and products, some through affiliate arrangements described in our affiliate disclosure. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or practices, and a link isn't an endorsement of everything a third party publishes or sells. Purchases you make from a third party are governed by that party's own terms.

No warranty

The site is provided "as is" and "as available". We work hard to be accurate and to correct errors promptly, but we make no warranties, express or implied, about the accuracy, completeness, currency, or fitness for a particular purpose of any content, and we don't warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free. Animal care needs vary by individual, breed, age, and health status.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we aren't liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, or for any loss or harm to you or to an animal, arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site or its content. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that can't lawfully be excluded.

Changes to the site and these terms

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site, and may update these terms at any time. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms. The date at the top shows when this page was last updated.
