Our Commitment to Content Integrity

We are committed to the quality and reliability of our content and editorial processes. Our team of editors, proofreaders, fact-checkers, illustrators, photographers, and medical and financial experts research and rigorously review every piece of content on an ongoing basis to ensure it is current, accurate, and puts the needs of our readers first.

Each article has a byline that includes the name, brief description, and link to more detailed information for each contributor. The date indicates when the article was last updated with information. Some articles also include a byline at the end to provide additional information about the research or author.

Original illustrations, graphics, photos, and videos are created by in-house teams who collaborate with experts in their fields to create assets that represent a variety of voices, perspectives, and backgrounds. Regular review by editors, as well as Medical, Finance, Anti-Bias, or other Review Board members, as appropriate, ensures the quality, accuracy, and integrity of these assets. Photos and videos are not edited in any way that might make them false or misleading.

Fact Checking

Dogcarestory.com’ experienced team of fact-checkers provides an important layer of review to ensure the integrity of content. This team of experts is selected and vetted for their journalistic and subject matter expertise. They are responsible for researching all factual claims to ensure that the news and information presented in our articles is accurate and comprehensive, and that statistics are sourced accurately and up to date. Articles that have been fact-checked will display a “fact-checked” badge, as well as the name of the fact-checker at the top of the page near the author.

If you notice an issue that you would like to report to us, please let us know by emailing contact@dogcarestory.com .

Corrections

Our editorial team is committed to informing readers whenever there is a factual error in a news story at the time of publication. We will correct the error as quickly as possible and notify readers of the error. All errors will be clearly labeled as such and will include what was changed and when. When an article is factually correct but the language is not as clear or detailed as it should be, the article may be updated without an editor’s note.

Articles typically refer to a specific event in time, so they are not updated frequently. Our editorial team continually reviews and updates evergreen articles to ensure they are timely, accurate, and relevant. Each article is date-stamped to reflect when it was last updated.

Sourcing

Our editors and writers adhere to strict standards for sourcing articles. We rely on current, reputable primary sources, such as expert interviews, government agencies, and professional and academic organizations. All data points, facts, and claims are supported by at least one reputable source.

We strongly discourage the use of anonymous or unnamed sources as this can undermine transparency and reader trust. In the rare cases where anonymous sources are used, we will disclose to readers the reason for anonymity and provide necessary context.

Our reporting and sourcing is grounded in considering often overlooked perspectives from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and women. Our content strives to serve all communities.
