Paradise Pets Swindon aims to publish accurate and trustworthy pet care information.

Before publishing articles that include health, welfare, legal, scientific or safety claims, we check facts against reliable sources where possible. These may include GOV.UK, Defra, APHA, RSPCA, PDSA, BVA, veterinary guidance, official reports and original research sources.

When an article discusses a study, law, animal welfare update or public guidance, we aim to link to the original source or a reliable official source.

If information changes, we may update the article and show the updated date where appropriate.

Our advice is based on practical pet care experience, but it should not replace advice from a qualified vet.
