How Dorky Mews researches, writes, reviews and corrects its content.
Our approach
Dorky Mews content is written by our editorial team using general veterinary and animal-behaviour knowledge, published research, UK retailer data and, where relevant, our own experience as pet owners. We do not publish AI-generated content without human review and editing.
Health content
Content in our Pet Health and Pet Behaviour sections is educational only. It is not written or reviewed by a registered veterinary surgeon unless explicitly stated on the page, and it must never be treated as a diagnosis or substitute for professional veterinary advice.
Product reviews
We disclose clearly when a product has not been physically tested by our team. Recommendations are based on published specifications, manufacturer information and aggregated owner feedback in these cases. Affiliate relationships never influence which products we choose to recommend.
Sourcing
We aim to cite reputable sources — established animal welfare charities, veterinary bodies and peer-reviewed research — and avoid presenting speculation as settled fact.
No fabricated claims
We do not invent statistics, quotes, testimonials, expert credentials or study results. If we are uncertain about something, we say so.
