Terms of Use

Last updated 16 August 2026.

Using this site

CanMyPetEat is free to use and needs no account. By using it you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

Not veterinary advice

This is the term that matters. The site is a reference. It is not veterinary advice, not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for consulting a veterinarian who can examine your animal. Nothing here establishes a veterinarian-client-patient relationship.

If your pet may have eaten something harmful, contact your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 immediately. Do not delay on the strength of anything you read here. A consultation fee may apply to that hotline.

We do not provide treatment instructions, dosages, or first-aid procedures, and you should not infer any from the absence of a warning.

Accuracy and limitations

Verdicts are transcribed from the veterinary sources cited on each page and dated when reviewed. We take that seriously, but:

The site is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law we accept no liability for any loss or harm arising from reliance on it. Your vet is the authority on your animal.

Acceptable use

You may read, link to, and share these pages. You may not scrape the site at a rate that degrades it for others, republish the database wholesale, or present our verdicts as veterinary advice from a qualified professional.

Intellectual property

The underlying veterinary findings belong to the organisations that published them and are cited accordingly. The way this site organises, words and presents that material is ours.

Advertising and affiliate links

The site carries advertising and some affiliate links, described in our Privacy Policy. Commercial links never appear on a page carrying an unsafe verdict, and they never influence a verdict.

Changes

We may update these terms; the date at the top reflects the last change.
