Fact-Checking Policy

Scope

This policy describes how PoodleInsurance.com verifies factual claims about Poodle health, pet insurance coverage, and pricing context before publication and during updates.

What we verify

• Health claims: hereditary condition prevalence, risk framing, and clinical terminology are verified against veterinary associations, breed registries, and peer-reviewed veterinary literature.
• Insurance mechanics: waiting periods, deductibles, reimbursement, annual limits, and exclusions are verified against the carrier's currently published sample policy or terms of service.
• Pricing context: premium ranges are described as context, not personalized quotes, and are attributed to NAPHIA industry data or the carrier's published quote tool.
• External links: outbound citations are checked for reachability at publication.

Sources we use

Health and insurance claims cite named public sources — including AVMA, AAHA, ACVS, ACVIM, ACVO, OFA, CHIC, the Poodle Club of America, NAPHIA, and carrier-published policy documents. Reddit threads, forum posts, anonymous blogs, and other affiliate sites without underlying citations are not used as primary sources.

Medical review

Medical and health content on this site is informational and based on cited public sources. It is not veterinary advice and has not been reviewed by a veterinarian unless a specific page explicitly names a verified reviewer. Readers should consult a licensed veterinarian for diagnosis or treatment.

Update cadence

Articles are revisited when policy terminology changes, when a cited source is updated, when a carrier's coverage materially changes, or when a reader flags an error. The "Last reviewed" date on a page reflects the most recent update to that page.

Flagging an inaccuracy
