Legal
Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of PawCalc. By using the site, you agree to them. They are written in plain language on purpose — if anything is unclear, ask us.
1. What PawCalc is
PawCalc is a free information website: 32 pet calculators and in-depth breed guides about dogs and cats. The calculators give estimates based on published veterinary formulas and breed data. The guides give general information. Nothing on this site is veterinary advice, a diagnosis, or a substitute for a veterinarian. See the Disclaimer, which is part of these terms.
2. Acceptable use
You may use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may share links to our pages and quote short excerpts with credit. You may not: scrape the site in bulk; copy whole articles or calculators and republish them as your own; use the site to mislead others (for example, presenting a calculator result as a veterinary diagnosis); or attempt to disrupt, hack, or overload the site.
3. Accuracy and availability
We work hard to keep every number accurate and every page available, and we correct mistakes when they are pointed out. But we cannot promise the site will always be accurate, complete, or available. Breed data changes, formulas are refined, and hosting has bad days. Use the site as a starting point, and check important decisions — especially anything about your pet's health, diet, or medication — with your veterinarian.
4. Your inputs
Calculator inputs are processed in your browser and are not sent to us. If you email us, you own what you write; by sending it you give us permission to read it, reply, and (if it is a correction) use it to improve the site. We will not publish your email or your name without asking you first.
5. Links and affiliates
We may link to other websites — veterinary organisations, breed clubs, retailers — for reference. We are not responsible for their content. Some links may be affiliate links, clearly labelled; if you buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate income never influences what a calculator says or what a guide recommends. See the Affiliate Disclosure.
6. Liability
The site is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent allowed by law, PawCalc is not liable for any loss or harm arising from use of the site — including decisions made about a pet's health, diet, or treatment based on a calculator result or a guide. That is why every page tells you to consult your veterinarian: they can see your pet, we cannot.
7. Changes
We may update these terms and the site itself at any time. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the updated terms.
