Plain-English draft — review before launch.
Information, not veterinary care
Paw & Whisker provides general pet information, not veterinary advice, diagnosis or treatment. AI can make mistakes. It never replaces a licensed veterinarian.
If your pet has trouble breathing, collapses, has seizures, is bleeding heavily, may have eaten poison, or has other urgent signs, go to an emergency vet immediately. Do not wait for an AI response.
No veterinary review
The service and AI answers are not currently reviewed by a veterinarian. Guides and symptom checks are educational resources, not a clinical assessment. No veterinarian-client-patient relationship is created by using the site.
When to seek help
Contact your own vet for symptoms, persistent changes, vaccination and medication questions. For suspected poisoning, contact an emergency vet or an animal poison-control service immediately. Never give medication, induce vomiting or change prescribed treatment based only on this site.
AI has limits
An AI cannot examine your pet, perform tests or reliably interpret every photo. Responses may be inaccurate or miss important details. A reassuring answer does not mean your pet is safe.
