Method, sources and neutrality
The Petipedia method rests on three verifiable principles: a stated editorial authority, systematic institutional sourcing and strict commercial neutrality. Every numerical claim is tied to a named primary source.
Last updated :What editorial authority?
Petipedia is published by a documentary editorial team. Because animal nutrition is a health topic (YMYL), review by a veterinarian or board-certified veterinary nutritionist is being put in place and will be shown by name once verified. No online opinion replaces a veterinarian's examination of an animal.
How are sources chosen?
Claims rely on primary sources: FEDIAF, AAFCO, NRC, WSAVA, FDA, EFSA and EUR-Lex. A numerical claim without a named source is reworded without a strong assertion or dropped. Sources are cited in full at the foot of each page.
How is neutrality guaranteed?
The site sells no food, recommends no brand and takes no commission. Brands are described on verifiable criteria, never ranked commercially. The regulatory status of a claim takes precedence over marketing.
How is content kept current?
Content is reviewed in cycles: questions in active themes every 60 to 90 days, guides and articles every 6 months, the glossary every 12 months. An update genuinely changes the text, not just the date.
