Editorial Policy
FurStage publishes practical pet name, age and life-stage tools. This policy explains how we choose sources, review health-adjacent copy and correct mistakes.
Source hierarchy
For care and age guidance we prefer veterinary associations, peer-reviewed studies, university resources and established breed or feline/canine organizations. Marketing claims and forum anecdotes do not outrank those sources.
- Veterinary and animal-health organizations first.
- Primary studies or university explainers when formulas need context.
- Curated internal data only for names, styles and navigation.
Review cadence
Health-adjacent calculators, life-stage pages and reference guides are checked during major product updates and at least quarterly while the site is actively expanding.
Corrections
If a reader spots unclear wording, stale guidance or a data issue, we review the source trail, update the page and keep the safer interpretation when evidence is mixed.
Medical limits
FurStage is educational software, not a veterinary clinic. Our pages can help you prepare questions and understand broad life-stage patterns, but they cannot diagnose, treat or replace your veterinarian.
Translation disclosure
English is the source edition. Other locales currently use machine-assisted translation with automated parity and terminology checks; they have not received native-speaker or veterinarian language review unless a page explicitly says so. Medical source links remain visible so readers can verify the underlying guidance.
