Terms of Service
Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using PetFoodRankings (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of them, please stop using the Site. These terms apply to all visitors, readers and anyone who links to our content.
Editorial content is opinion, not a guarantee
Scores, rankings, verdicts and recommendations on this Site are editorial judgements produced from a published methodology. They reflect our analysis of publicly available label information, AAFCO statements, recall history and aggregated owner feedback at the time of publication. Product formulations change without notice. We correct errors when we find them and date every material change, but we cannot guarantee that every page is current on the day you read it.
Not veterinary or medical advice
Nothing on this Site is veterinary, medical or nutritional advice. Pet food choices interact with diagnoses, medications, allergies, life stage and breed-specific conditions that only a qualified veterinarian who has examined your animal can assess. Always consult your veterinarian before changing your pet's diet, especially for puppies, kittens, seniors, pregnant animals or pets with existing health conditions.
Affiliate relationships and third-party links
Some outbound links are affiliate links. If you buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects a score or a ranking — see our Affiliate Disclosure for the full policy.
The Site also links to third-party resources such as the FDA and USDA recall databases. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.
Intellectual property
The text, methodology, scoring model, charts, illustrations and site design are owned by PetFoodRankings and protected by copyright. You may quote short excerpts with a visible link back to the source page. You may not republish substantial portions of our content, scrape our product database at scale, or use our scores in a commercial product without written permission.
Product names, brand names and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used here for identification and commentary only.
Limitation of liability
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, PetFoodRankings is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site, or from any decision you make based on its content. Your use of the Site is entirely at your own risk.
Privacy and cookies
Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how analytics work on this Site, and the choices you have. Analytics loads only after you accept it in the cookie banner.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the Site evolves. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where PetFoodRankings operates, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect.
