Welcome to The Doggie Addition.

These Terms of Use explain the basis on which visitors may access and use our website.
By using The Doggie Addition, you agree to use the website responsibly and in accordance with these Terms.
If you do not agree with these Terms, please stop using the website.

3. General information and guidance
We aim to provide helpful, balanced and accessible information about dogs, their care and the responsibilities of dog ownership.
Our articles, guides, checklists and resources are provided for general information and educational purposes.
Although we take reasonable care when researching and preparing content, information may become outdated, and individual circumstances can vary.
Visitors should consider their own circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice where necessary.
We cannot guarantee that every piece of information will be suitable for every dog, household or situation.
4. Veterinary and health information
Information about canine health, nutrition, preventative care, symptoms and wellbeing is intended to support understanding, not to replace professional veterinary assessment or treatment.
We cannot diagnose medical conditions, assess an individual dog’s health or recommend treatment for a particular animal.
If your dog is unwell, injured or behaving in a way that concerns you, please contact your veterinary practice.
For urgent or potentially life-threatening concerns, seek immediate veterinary assistance, including an out-of-hours emergency veterinary service where appropriate.
Do not delay obtaining professional veterinary care because of information on this website or the outcome of one of our interactive tools.
5. Training and behaviour information
Our training and behaviour resources are intended to encourage informed, humane and responsible approaches to living with dogs.
Dogs differ in their experiences, temperament, health, environment and individual needs.
General training advice may not be appropriate for every situation, particularly where fear, aggression, reactivity or other complex behaviour is involved.
Where necessary, visitors should seek guidance from a suitably qualified veterinary professional, trainer or behaviour practitioner.
Safety and the welfare of both dogs and people should always come first.
6. Interactive tools and calculators
The Doggie Addition provides interactive tools, questionnaires and calculators to help visitors consider practical questions and explore possible next steps.
These tools offer general guidance and decision support. Their results depend on the information selected or entered by the visitor.
They are not professional assessments, diagnoses, guarantees or personalised advice.
Visitors should not rely solely on an interactive tool when making important decisions about a dog’s health, welfare, behaviour, safety or financial needs.
We may update, improve, replace or withdraw tools as the website develops.
7. Product Guides and affiliate links
Our Product Guides are intended to help visitors understand different products, their possible uses and factors worth considering before buying.
Product information may be based on research, published specifications and other relevant sources. We will not claim to have personally tested a product unless that is true.
Prices, availability, features and retailer terms may change. Visitors should check current details directly with the relevant retailer.
Some pages may contain affiliate links. If a visitor makes a qualifying purchase through one of these links, The Doggie Addition may receive a commission.
An affiliate relationship does not guarantee that a product will be recommended.
Our aim is to put usefulness, suitability and responsible dog ownership ahead of potential commission.
Further information will be available in our Affiliate Disclosure.
8. External websites and resources
Our website may link to external websites, organisations, retailers and information resources.
These links are provided for convenience and to help visitors explore additional information.
We do not control the content, availability, privacy practices or terms of external websites.
Including a link does not necessarily mean that we endorse every statement, product or service offered by the linked organisation.
Visitors should review the relevant terms and policies before using third-party services or making purchases.
